Replaces Prod. #: ALX-340-059
Mobilizes Ca2+ in anterior pituitary cells. Stimulates insulin release from rat pancreatic islets. Potent stimulator of prolactin secretion. Potent vasodilator in the intestinal and cerebral microcirculation and in bovine coronary arteries. Endogenous TRPV4 agonist (Ki=150nM). Mediates angiotensin-induced natriuresis. Metabolized by cyclooxygenase.
