(D-Phe11,His12)-sauvagine, fragment 11-40 trifluoroacetate salt

Antisauvagine-30 Trifluoroacetate Salt is a CRF1 and CRF2 antagonist blocking secretions of cortisol and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Used in studies involving stress and memory.

High-affinity antagonist for Corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) receptor type 2 (CRF(2)).
