Biological Activity for Cortistatin 14

Cortistatin 14 is an endogenous neuropeptide, mainly expressed in the cortex and hippocampus, that has structural and functional similarities to somatostatin-14. Cortistatin 14 displays potency at all somatostatin receptors (sst₁ - sst₅) and prevents somatostatin-14 binding (IC₅₀ values are 0.09, 0.2, 0.3, 0.3 and 5 nM at sst₂, sst₄, sst₃, sst₅ and sst₁ receptors, respectively). Also a potent MRGPRX2 agonist (EC₅₀ = 25 nM in HEK293 cells) and binds to the growth hormone secretagog receptor (GHS-R1a). Exhibits neuronal depressant and sleep-modulating properties in vivo.
