The cyclic peptide urotensin II (UII) was originally isolated from the urophysis of teleost fish on the basis of its ability to…
Objectives Urotensin II is the most potent vasoconstrictor known. Its role in hypertension has not been investigated. Here, we…
Abstract— Urotensin II (UII) is a somatostatin-like peptide recently identified as a potent vasoconstrictor. In this study, we…
The aim of this work was to investigate the coupling of human urotensin II (hU-II) to RhoA activation and regulation of RhoA…
Background Urotensin-II (UII), a cyclic dodecapeptide originally isolated from fish urophysis that has potent cardiovascular…
We have determined the distribution of receptors for human urotensin‐II (U‐II) in human and rat CNS and peripheral tissues. In…
Urotensin II (UII) is a neuropeptide with potent cardiovascular effects. Its sequence is strongly conserved among different…
Identification of the natural ligand of an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor
involved in the regulation of vasoconstriction
Urotensin II (UII) is a cyclic peptide initially isolated from the caudal neurosecretory system of teleost fish. Subsequently…
