Neuropeptides and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channels: a relationship from mammals to cnidarians

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 601, Issue 9, Page 1583-1595, 1 May 2023., 2023
Abstract figure legend Several degenerin (DEG)/epithelial Na+ channel (ENaC) ion channels interact with neuropeptides. Some DEG/ENaCs from vertebrates, including humans, are modulated by neuropeptides, whereas others, from bilaterian invertebrates and cnidarians, are directly activated by them. For modulation, neuropeptides [here, RFamides (RFa)] bind,
