Application: Hemopressin is a bioactive peptide derived from the alpha-chain of hemoglobin, known for its role as an inverse agonist of cannabinoid receptors, particularly CB1. By binding to these receptors, hemopressin reduces the activity of the endocannabinoid system, which is implicated in pain modulation, appetite control, and energy balance. In pharmaceutical research, hemopressin is explored for its potential therapeutic applications in conditions such as obesity, pain, and metabolic disorders. Its unique mechanism of action makes it a valuable tool for studying cannabinoid receptor functions and developing novel treatments targeting these pathways.
