[D-Arg1,D-Phe5,D-Trp7,9,Leu11]-substance P is a synthetic peptide analog of Substance P bearing D-amino acid substitutions that alter receptor signaling. It is used in research to probe neuropeptide and chemokine receptor pharmacology, intracellular signaling pathways, and cellular responses in inflammation and cancer studies.
- Acts as a biased agonist at neuropeptide and chemokine receptors.
- Activates G12 and modulates ERK-2 and JNK signaling pathways.
- Promotes neutrophil migration and intracellular Ca2+ mobilization.
- Functions as a bombesin antagonist and shows activity in small cell lung cancer models.
- Peptide sequence contains D-Arg, D-Phe, and D-Trp substitutions; molecular weight ≈ 1,516.83 g/mol.
- Provided as a high-purity powder; store sealed, away from moisture, at -20°C to -80°C for long-term stability.
