[ Name ]:
Prosaptide Tx14(A) TFA

Biological Activity

[Description]:

Prosaptide Tx14(A), a prosaposin-derived peptide, is a potent GPR37L1 and GPR37 agonist with EC50s of 5 and 7 nM, respectively. Prosaptide Tx14(A) increases both ERK1 and ERK2 phosphorylation in Schwann cells[1][2].

[In Vitro]

Prosaptide Tx14(A) promotes the endocytosis of GPR37 and GPR37L1, bound to both receptors and activated signaling in a GPR37- and GPR37L1-dependent manner. Prosaptide Tx14(A) is the active fragment of the secreted neuroprotective and glioprotective factor prosaposin (also known as sulfated glycoprotein-1)[1].
