  • Description
    Neurotensin is an endogenous neurotransmitter and hormone, found in both neuronal synaptic vesicles, and in neuroendocrine cells in the periphery. Neurotensin acts through three receptors and is involved in several important biological functions, including analgesia and hypothermia, and also food intake and glucose homeostasis. Neurotensin receptors also have a role in promoting tumour cell proliferation, migration and DNA synthesis. Expression of neurotensin and its receptors has been correlated to cancer prognosis and prediction of treatment.
  • Storage Guidelines

  • About TFA salt

    Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) has a significant impact on peptides due to its role in the peptide synthesis process.

    TFA is essential for the protonation of peptides that lack basic amino acids such as Arginine (Arg), Histidine (His), and Lysine (Lys), or ones that have blocked N-termini. As a result, peptides often contain TFA salts in the final product.

    TFA residues, when present in custom peptides, can cause unpredictable fluctuations in experimental data. At a nanomolar (nM) level, TFA can influence cell experiments, hindering cell growth at low concentrations (as low as 10 nM) and promoting it at higher doses (0.5–7.0 mM). It can also serve as an allosteric regulator on the GlyR of glycine receptors, thereby increasing receptor activity at lower glycine concentrations.

    In an in vivo setting, TFA can trifluoroacetylate amino groups in proteins and phospholipids, inducing potentially unwanted antibody responses. Moreover, TFA can impact structure studies as it affects spectrum absorption.
