Description

Helospectin I is a neuropeptide of the vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) family. Helospectin I has vasodilatory and antihypertensive activities, and decreases blood pressure. Helospectin I is originally isolated from the salivary gland venom of the lizard Heloderma suspectum[1][2].

IC50 & Target

Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)[1]

In Vitro

Helospectin I (suffusion at 0.1 nM, in bicarbonate buffer for 30 min) evokes significant, sustained and similar vasodilation in the intact hamster cheek pouch[1].
Helospectin I relaxes the Phenylephrine-contracted rat femoral arteries with pEC50 of 6.82[2].
Helospectin I (0.1 nM-1 μM) inhibits the binding of 125I-labeled VIP and 125I-secretin to dispersed chief cells[4].

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

In Vivo

Helospectin I (0.03-2 nmol/kg, 100 μL of infusion at the left jugular vein) reduces blood pressure in rats[2].
Helospectin I (0.1-0.8 nmol /kg, i.v.) increases plasma levels of glucagon in mice[3].

Animal Model: SD rats[2]
Dosage: 0.03, 0.3, 1, 2 nM/kg
Administration: 100 μL of infusion at the left jugular vein, followed by washing the catheter with 100 μL saline.
Result: Reduced the blood pressure, but was less effective than vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) in the low dose range.
Animal Model: Mice[3]
Dosage: 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 nM /kg
Administration: Intravenous injection (i.v.)
Result: Markedly stimulated glucagon secretion, and had no direct action on insulin secretion.

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.
