GtoPdb Ligand ID: 13681

Compound class: Peptide
Comment: Consomatin Fj1 is a cyclic decapeptide produced by the marine cone snail Conus fijisulcatus. It is proposed as naturally evolved analogue of an endogenous somatostatin (SST)-like signalling peptide. Consomatin Fj1 acts as a mimetic of the endogenous human hormone somatostatin, and is an agonist of the SST4 receptor that promotes G protein dissociation from the receptor [1].
SST4 is expressed by peripheral sensory neurons and SST4-mediated antinociception is being pursued as a promising mechanism for non-opioid pain relief.

Ligand Activity Visualisation Charts

These are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts.
