Characterization of a set of abdominal neuroendocrine cells that regulate stress physiology using colocalized diuretic peptides in Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Multiple neuropeptides are known to regulate water and ion balance in Drosophila melanogaster. Several of these peptides also have other functions in physiology and behavior.

Peptide analogue studies of the hypothalamic neuropeptide Y receptor mediating pituitary adrenocorticotrophic hormone release.

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1997
Hypothalamic neuropeptide Y (NPY) is thought to be important in the regulation of feeding and also in the release of Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH).

Pain Assessment in Osteoarthritis: Present Practices and Future Prospects Including the Use of Biomarkers and Wearable Technologies, and AI‐Driven Personalized Medicine

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a highly prevalent chronic joint disorder affecting ~600 million individuals worldwide and is characterized by complex pain mechanisms that significantly impair patient quality of life. Challenges exist in accurately assessing and measuring pain in OA due to variations in pain perception among individuals and the ...

Phylogenetic investigation of peptide hormone and growth factor receptors in five dipteran genomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Peptide hormones and growth factors bind to membrane receptors and regulate a myriad of processes in insects and other metazoans. The evolutionary relationships among characterized and un-characterized (orphan) receptors can provide insights into ...

Sensory and Autonomic Fibers in Anterior Ethmoid, Posterior Nasal, Posterolateral Nasal Nerves

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
All cadaveric anterior ethmoid, posterior, and posterolateral nasal nerves contained roughly equivalent proportions of sensory, parasympathetic, and sympathetic nerve fiber markers. Neurokinin A was the only neuropeptide with consistently greater percent areas across the different nasal nerves.

Relationship between the Production Traits and three Candidate Genes in the Prolactin’s In/Del×In/Del Population of Silkie Fowl

open access: yesThe Journal of Poultry Science, 2014
Silkie fowl are very famous in China and Japan, however the egg production rate of the Silkie fowl is very low because of broodiness. Authors have examined the polymorphisms of the 5′-flanking region of the prolactin gene in Taihe Silkie fowl and ...

A neuropeptide Y receptor Y1-subfamily gene from an agnathan, the European river lamprey. A potential ancestral gene.

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Biochemistry, 2001
We report here the isolation and functional expression of a neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor from the river lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis. The receptor displays approximately 50% amino-acid sequence identity to all previously cloned Y1-subfamily receptors ...

Photoaffinity labeling coupled to MS to identify peptide biological partners: Secondary reactions, for better or for worse?

open access: yesMass Spectrometry Reviews, EarlyView.
Abstract Affinity photolabeling is a smart method to study noncovalent and transient interactions and provide a submolecular picture of the contacts between interacting partners. In this review, we will focus on the identification of peptide partners using photoaffinity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry in different contexts such as in vitro with a
