Urotensin II (UII) is an 11 amino acid cyclic peptide originally isolated from the goby fish. The
amino acid sequence of UII is exceptionally conserved across most vertebrate taxa, sharing …

Somatostatin (SS) and urotensin II (UII) are members of two families of structurally related
neuropeptides present in all vertebrates. They exert a large array of biological activities that …

The volume of extracellular fluid (ECF) is maintained within narrow limits in normal human
subjects, despite day-to-day variations in dietary intake of salt and water over a wide range …

Abstract Urotensin II (U-II) is the most potent vasoconstrictor known, even more potent than
endothelin-1. It was first isolated from the fish spinal cord and has been recognized as a …

Background: Urotensin II (UII) is an 11–amino acid vasoactive peptide, recently identified as
the ligand for a novel G protein-coupled receptor, GPR-14 (renamed urotensin receptor …

The identification of a human homolog of urotensin-II (U-II) and a novel, specific G-protein-
coupled receptor by Ames et al. in 1999 changed the perception that the U-II isopeptide …

1 Urotensin II (U‐II) is a cyclic neuropeptide that was first isolated from teleost fish some 35
years ago. Mammalian U‐II is a powerful vasoconstrictor with a potency greater than that of …

Abstract Urotensin II (U-II) is a vasoactive hormone that acts through a recently described
seven transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptor called GPR14. Although touted …

Urotensin II (UII) is a potent vasoactive hormone in mammals. However, despite its well-
known effects on epithelial sodium transport in fish, little is known about its actions on the …
