    In Vitro

    [Pyr1]-apelin-13 encapsulation in lipoPEG particles (lipoPEG-PA13) results in sustained and extended drug release under physiological conditions[1].

    MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

    In Vivo

    [Pyr1]-apelin-13 nanocarriers in a mouse model of pressure-overload induced heart failure demonstrate a sustainable long-term effect of [Pyr1]-apelin-13 in preventing cardiac dysfunction[1]. [Pyr1] apelin-13 (1, 5 μg) improves locomotor activity and reduces pain symptoms, cavity size and caspase-3 levels in rats. [Pyr1] apelin-13 (1, 5 μg) significantly increases thermal paw withdrawal latency. [Pyr1] apelin-13 in 5 μg dose also produces significant attenuation in paw withdrawal threshold compared to SCI animals from the second week post SCI[2].

    Help & FAQs
    • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

      Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
