Activity

  • Function:  The alpha-1 peptide acts as an osmoregulatory peptide, increasing blood volume, and also modulates the activity of a set of cardiac motor neurons that control heart rate.
  • Mechanism:  Isoform R15-1 produces peptide R15 alpha-2 which is a 24 aa long spliced form of peptide R15 alpha-1 which is produced by isoform R15-2.
