Neuropeptide receptors as potential antiepileptic drug targets : focus on the ghrelin axis [PDF]

, 2014
Epilepsy is a very serious neurological disorder which is often underrepresented. Around 50 million individuals worldwide have active epilepsy with recurrent seizures and in spite of the medical advances over the years, 30% of these patients remain as ...

NPF activates a specific NPF receptor and regulates food intake in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai

Scientific Reports, 2021
Neuropeptides function through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with high specificity, implying a significant degree of neuropeptide-GPCR coevolution. However, potential neuropeptide signaling systems in non-chordates are relatively elusive.

Phylogenomic analysis reveals extensive phylogenetic mosaicism in the Human GPCR Superfamily [PDF]

, 2007
A novel high throughput phylogenomic analysis (HTP) was applied to the rhodopsin G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family. Instances of phylogenetic mosaicism between receptors were found to be frequent, often as instances of correlated mosaicism and ...

PACAP and migraine headache: immunomodulation of neural circuits in autonomic ganglia and brain parenchyma. [PDF]

, 2018
The discovery that intravenous (IV) infusions of the neuropeptide PACAP-38 (pituitary adenylyl cyclase activating peptide-38) induced delayed migraine-like headaches in a large majority of migraine patients has resulted in considerable excitement in ...

Evolution of neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors in nematodes

Heliyon
The Neuropeptide Y/RFamide-like receptors belong to the Rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are involved in functions such as locomotion, feeding and reproduction.

A G protein-coupled receptor mediates neuropeptide-induced oocyte maturation in the jellyfish Clytia.

PLoS Biology, 2020
The reproductive hormones that trigger oocyte meiotic maturation and release from the ovary vary greatly between animal species. Identification of receptors for these maturation-inducing hormones (MIHs) and understanding how they initiate the largely ...

Cerebellum Transcriptome of Mice Bred for High Voluntary Activity Offers Insights into Locomotor Control and Reward-Dependent Behaviors. [PDF]

, 2016
The role of the cerebellum in motivation and addictive behaviors is less understood than that in control and coordination of movements. High running can be a self-rewarding behavior exhibiting addictive properties.

Reversal of age-related learning deficiency by the vertebrate PACAP and IGF-1 in a novel invertebrate model of aging: the pond snail (Lymnaea Stagnalis) [PDF]

, 2014
With the increase of life span, nonpathological age-related memory decline is affecting an increasing number of people. However, there is evidence that age-associated memory impairment only suspends, rather than irreversibly extinguishes, the intrinsic ...

Ligands of the neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor [PDF]

Bioorganic & Medicinal Chemistry Letters, 2014
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant neuropeptides in the mammalian brain and exerts a variety of physiological processes in humans via four different receptor subtypes Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. Y2 receptor is the most abundant Y subtype receptor in the central nervous system and implicated with food intake, bone formation, affective disorders ...
