Urantide acts as selective and competitive urotensin-II (UT) receptor antagonist (pKB = 8.3), which blocks hU-II induced contractions in thoracic aorta ex vivo, and has no effect on noradrenaline or endothelin 1-induced contraction or on acetylcholine-induced relaxation. It behaves as a partial agonist in a calcium mobilization assay (in CHO cells expressing hUT receptors).
