Shipping Temperature
The product is shipped as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at -20°C. Protect from moisture.
Storage Conditions
Storage as Solution: The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. - Storage before Reconstitution: The product is shipped as a lyophilized powder at room temperature. Upon receipt, store the product at -20°C. Protect from moisture. - Storage after Reconstitution: The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.

A Neurotensin Receptor Ligand
Description
CGX-1160 - A Neurotensin Receptor Ligand
Reconstitution
Centrifuge the vial (10, 000 × g for 5 minutes) before adding solvent to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Gently tap, tilt, and roll the vial to aid dissolution. Avoid vigorous vortexing; light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity.

Origin
Conus geographus (Geography cone) (Nubecula geographus)
Modifications

Z = Pyrrolidone carboxylic acid

Effective Concentration
100 nM - 1 µM
Activity
Contulakin-G acts as an agonist of neurotensin receptors. It binds to human neurotensin type 1 receptor (NTSR1), rat neurotensin types 1 and 2 receptors (NTSR1/NTSR2) and mouse neurotensin type 3 receptor (SORT1)1.
Solubility
Centrifuge the vial before adding solvent (10, 000 x g for 5 minutes) to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Tap the vial to aid in dissolving the lyophilized product. Tilt and gently roll the liquid over the walls of the vial. Avoid vigorous vortexing. Light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration.

Scientific Background
Contulakin-G acts as an agonist of neurotensin receptors. It binds to human neurotensin type 1 receptor (NTSR1), rat neurotensin types 1 and 2 receptors (NTSR1/NTSR2) and mouse neurotensin type 3 receptor (SORT1)1.Contulakin-G is a peptide initially isolated and purified from the marine snail Conus geographus venom based on its ability to induce sluggishness in mice2.O-linked glycosylation at Threonine residue at position 10 appears to be a highly unusual strategy for increasing the efficacy of toxins directed against neurotransmitter receptors1. Although the binding affinity of Contulakin-G for cloned neurotensin receptors in vitro proved to be significantly lower than neurotensin, Contulakin-G was shown to be a neurotensin receptor agonist at physiologically relevant concentrations1, 2.
