Neuropeptidomics: Mass Spectrometry-Based Identification and Quantitation of Neuropeptides [PDF]

Genomics & Informatics, 2016
Neuropeptides produced from prohormones by selective action of endopeptidases are vital signaling molecules, playing a critical role in a variety of physiological processes, such as addiction, depression, pain, and circadian rhythms.

Neuropeptidergic systems in psychiatric disorders [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
Neuropeptides represent a heterogeneous class of signalling molecules whose release has initially been described in the hypothalamus. Their release often follows a circadian rhythm and basal release may be enhanced by internal and external stressors ...

LIT01-196, a Metabolically Stable Apelin-17 Analog, Normalizes Blood Pressure in Hypertensive DOCA-Salt Rats via a NO Synthase-dependent Mechanism

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
Apelin is a neuro-vasoactive peptide that plays a major role in the control of cardiovascular functions and water balance, but has an in-vivo half-life in the minute range, limiting its therapeutic use.

Antinociceptive and Cytotoxic Activity of Opioid Peptides with Hydrazone and Hydrazide Moieties at the C-Terminus

Molecules, 2020
In the present contribution, we analyze the influence that C-terminal extension of short opioid peptide sequences by organic fragments has on receptor affinity, in vivo analgesic activity, and antimelanoma properties.

Can keratin scaffolds be used for creating three-dimensional cell cultures?

Open Medicine, 2020
Three-dimensional (3D) cell cultures were created with the use of fur keratin associated proteins (F-KAPs) as scaffolds. The procedure of preparation F-KAP involves combinations of chemical activation and enzymatic digestion.

Starfish smooth muscle relaxing activity of SALMFamide isotype peptide and its analog derived from starfish, Asterias rubens

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2022
An organism’s physiological processes and behaviors are regulated by neuropeptides and hormone peptides. The first neuropeptide identified from echinoderms is SALMFamide.

Best Practices for Comprehensive Annotation of Neuropeptides of Gryllus bimaculatus

Insects, 2023
Genome annotation is critically important data that can support research. Draft genome annotations cover representative genes; however, they often do not include genes that are expressed only in limited tissues and stages, or genes with low expression ...
