Description

Proctolin is an endogenous excitatory neuromodulatory peptide found in crustaceans and insects. Proctolin exhibits vasoconstrictive activity, increasing vascular resistance and increasing antennae-heart beat rates in vivo. Additionally, in other in vivo models, proctolin modulates vitellogenin uptake. Release of proctolin can be induced by stretch-related stimulation.

Custom Order

  • Size of single unit expressed as number (e.g. '500' in the case of 500 mg)
  • Total quantity of unit size desired (e.g. '10' in the case of 10 x 500 mg). If only one unit is desired, you may leave this blank.
  • This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.
