Target	GPR14[1]
In Vitro	Human Urotensin II (U-II) binds to recombinant human GPR14 with high affinity, and the binding is functionally coupled to calcium mobilization. Human Urotensin II induces concentration-dependent increases in intracellular calcium in a HEK-293 cell line expressing human GPR14 (EC50=0:62±0.17 nM, n=6)[1].
In Vivo	Human Urotensin II (U-II) markedly increases total peripheral resistance in anaesthetized non-human primates, a response associated with profound cardiac contractile dysfunction[1].
