Biological Activity

[Description]:

Sauvagine, a 40-amino-acid neuropeptide from the skin of the frog, is a mammalian CRF agonist. Sauvagine is effective at releasing ACTH from rat pituitary cells. Sauvagine possesses a number of pharmacological actions on diuresis, the cardiovascular system and endocrine glands[1][2][3].
