Application: Apelin-16 is a biologically active fragment of the apelin propeptide corresponding to amino acid residues 62–77. Apelin is the endogenous ligand for the APJ receptor, a G protein–coupled receptor involved in cardiovascular regulation, fluid homeostasis, angiogenesis, and energy metabolism. Apelin-16 retains receptor-binding and signaling activity, making it a useful tool for investigating APJ-mediated biological pathways. This peptide is widely used in cardiovascular research, metabolic regulation studies, neuroendocrine signaling, angiogenesis research, and investigations of apelin system biology across species. It supports studies of vascular function, endocrine regulation, and GPCR signaling.
