TUG-469

TUG-469 is an agonist of free fatty acid 1(FFA) receptor.

TUG-469 is a peptide that activates the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. It has been shown to inhibit ligand binding to the receptor, leading to a decrease in the activity of ion channels. The peptide has been shown to activate the receptor at nanomolar concentrations and is used as a research tool for studying protein interactions and receptors. TUG-469 is also an inhibitor of the alpha-1-adrenergic receptor, which may be due to its ability to bind to this protein and block all activity. TUG-469 is soluble in water and most organic solvents, making it suitable for use as a pharmacology reagent or as a cell biology research tool. TUG-469 has CAS number 1236109-67-3.
