It is the major apelin form in human plasma and heart, which the N-terminal glutamine residue is cyclized to pyroglutamic acid. It exhibits higher APJ agonist potency than Apelin-13. It has antipyretic and vasoconstrictor effects in vitro and in vivo. It is widely used for studying APJ-mediated cellular and physiological functions both in cultures and in animals in vivo. It is reactive toward human, rat, bovine and murine species.
