| Targets |
Apelin receptor (APJ). ELA-21 (human) is a potent APJ agonist, activating both G protein-dependent (e.g., cAMP inhibition) and beta-arrestin-dependent signaling pathways. It binds with high affinity (pKi = 8.52) to APJ in human left ventricular tissue.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
ELA-21 (human) is a potent APJ agonist. It completely inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP production (an indicator of Gi activation) and stimulates beta-arrestin recruitment at subnanomolar potencies. It binds to APJ receptors in left ventricle from normal and PAH hearts with pKi values of 9.31 and 9.46, respectively.
|
| ln Vivo |
Not reported. As a high-affinity APJ agonist, ELA-21 is expected to have in vivo cardiovascular effects similar to other APJ agonists, such as vasodilation, increased cardiac contractility (positive inotropy), and regulation of fluid homeostasis. It is a bioactive fragment of ELA-32, which is known to be active in vivo.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
A cell-free binding assay is conducted using membranes prepared from human left ventricular tissue (normal or from PAH patients). Membranes are incubated with [125I]apelin-13 or a labeled ELA peptide and varying concentrations of unlabeled ELA-21. Bound and free ligands are separated by filtration, and radioactivity is counted to calculate pKi values (9.31 and 9.46).
|
| Cell Assay |
HEK293 cells expressing human APJ are seeded in 96-well plates. For G protein signaling, cells are stimulated with forskolin in the presence or absence of ELA-21, and cAMP levels are measured using HTRF. For beta-arrestin recruitment, a PathHunter beta-arrestin assay is used. EC50 values are calculated to assess the compound‘s potency in activating both pathways.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In vivo studies are conducted in rodent models of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). ELA-21 may be administered intravenously or via osmotic minipump. Hemodynamic parameters (e.g., right ventricular pressure) are measured, and cardiac function is assessed via echocardiography. Tissue samples are collected for histological and molecular analysis.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Not reported. As a peptide agonist, ELA-21 is expected to have a short plasma half-life in vivo due to rapid proteolytic degradation. This is typical for unmodified peptide therapeutics and limits its duration of action, often requiring continuous infusion for sustained effects.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Not reported. No formal toxicology data is available as ELA-21 is a research-grade peptide not intended for clinical use. Given its mechanism as an APJ agonist, potential toxicity could include hypotension or cardiac arrhythmias due to excessive vasodilation or positive inotropy.

| Additional Infomation |
ELA-21 (human) is a 21-amino acid peptide derived from ELA-32, the endogenous APJ ligand. It represents a key bioactive fragment and is a crucial research tool for studying the apelinergic system, which is involved in cardiovascular development, fluid homeostasis, and angiogenesis. Unlike apelin, ELABELA-derived peptides often show distinct signaling bias and receptor internalization profiles, making them important for dissecting biased agonism at the APJ receptor.
