Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23), the active form of Neuropeptide W, is an endogenous agonist of NPBW1 (GPR7) and NPBW2 (GPR8)[1].
Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) increases the ICa,L in transfected human embryonic kidney 293 cells and VSMCs via GPR7[1].
Neuropeptide W-23 (human) increases the expression of pan phospho-PKC, intracellular diacylglycerol level, and the second messenger catalyzed by PLC[1].
Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) (0.3-3.0 nM; intracerebroventricular injection; 2 μL) increases total behavioral activity, including locomotion and grooming in conscious rats[2].
Neuropeptide W-23 (human) (NPW-23) (2-8 nM; i.c.v.; 10 μL) shows anorexigenic effect in rats[3].
