Term Name: kinetensin
Synonyms: H-Ile-Ala-Arg-Arg-His-Pro-Tyr-Phe-Leu-OH, I-A-R-R-H-P-Y-F-L, IARRHPYFL, Ile-Ala-Arg-Arg-His-Pro-Tyr-Phe-Leu, kinetensin (human), L-Ile-L-Ala-L-Arg-L-Arg-L-His-L-Pro-L-Tyr-L-Phe-L-Leu, L-isoleucyl-L-alanyl-L-arginyl-L-arginyl-L-histidyl-L-prolyl-L-tyrosyl-L-phenylalanyl-L-leucine
Definition: An oligopeptide comprising of nine amino acids with sequence L-Ile-L-Ala-L-Arg-L-Arg-L-His-L-Pro-L-Tyr-L-Phe-L-Leu. It was originally isolated from pepsin-treated human plasma and shares some sequence homology with the C-terminal end of neurotensin. It is a potent histamine releaser and may serve as an inflammatory mediator.
