Biological Data

Biological description Endogenous GLYT2 inhibitor (IC50 = 3 µM) that displays little activity at GLYT1. Also reversibly inhibits Cav3.1, Cav3.2 and Cav3.3 currents (EC50 values are 1.3 µM, 600 nM and 1.6 µM respectively). Novel insulin secretagogue and natural ligand for orphan G-protein-coupled receptor, GPR18. Displays analgesic properties.
