CTAP is an opioid antagonistpeptide, which is an analogue ofsomatostatin.[1] It displays high selectivity for the mu-opioid receptor.
CTAP is described as being amu-selectiveopioid antagonist.[2][3] In other words, when blocking opioid receptors, it is much more selective for the mu-opioid receptors than the other receptors. For example, inNorway rats, it has anIC50 value of 0.0021 μM at mu opioid 1 receptors,[4] but has a value of 5.31 μM at delta opioid 1 receptors,[5] which shows that it is much more selective for mu receptors, as can be seen by the smaller value. Additionally, it is able to cross theblood–brain barrier (BBB).[6]
