A list of synthetic peptides are given with their sequence and are sorted based on the C-terminal amino acid of chemerin they were created to emulate. Chemerin-9 continues to be the primary agonist of the ChemR23 receptor (a). A list of biologically active isoforms is sorted according to their C-terminal amino acid. All are assumed to begin with amino acid E21. Although no full mouse isoforms are listed, full-length mouse peptides begin with E23 [18] (b).
