Spexin trifluoroacetate salt

Spexin is a potent galanin receptor 2/3 (GAL2/GAL3) agonist (EC50 values are 45.7 and 112.2 nM, respectively). Spexin exhibits no significant activity at galanin receptor 1. Spexin is an endogenous satiety-inducing peptide; Spexin inhibits long chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes and decreases food consumption in diet-induced obese mice and rats. Spexin attenuates LH secretion in goldfish. Spexin exhibits anxiolytic effects in vivo.
