BAM (8-22) acetate is a proteolytically cleaved product of proenkephalin A. BAM (8-22) acetate activates Mas-related G-protein-coupled receptors (Mrgprs), MrgprC11 and hMrgprX1, and induces scratching in mice in an Mrgpr-dependent manner.
(R)-ZINC-3573 is a potent and highly selective MRGPRX2 probe that activates endogenous MRGPRX2 in a human mast cell line, inducing degranulation and calcium release.
MRGPRX4 modulator-2 (compound 1-55) is a highly potent antagonist of MRGPRX4 with an IC50 value of less than 100 nM. Its notable applications include research on autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Steven Johnson's Syndrome, and various chronic itch conditions [1].
