Descriptor neurotensina
Scope note: Tridecapéptido biológicamente activo aislado del hipotálamo. Se ha demostrado que induce hipotensión en la rata, que estimula la contracción del íleo en el cobaya y del útero en la rata y que produce relajación del duodeno en la rata. Hay también datos de que actúa como neurotransmisor en el sistema nervioso periférico y central.

Scope note: A biologically active tridecapeptide isolated from the hypothalamus. It has been shown to induce hypotension in the rat, to stimulate contraction of guinea pig ileum and rat uterus, and to cause relaxation of rat duodenum. There is also evidence that it acts as both a peripheral and a central nervous system neurotransmitter.
