JMV 2959 is a growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) antagonist with an IC50 of 32 nM.
JMV 2959 is a growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a (GHS-R1a) antagonist with an IC50 of 32 nM. JMV 2959 does not induce any intracellular calcium mobilization by itself[1].
When administered alone, it does not increase food intake and does not significantly stimulate growth hormone (GH) release[1]. JMV 2959 dose dependently decreases the startle response (F(3.42)=4.4, p
