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

open access: yesFisheries 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

open access: yesInsects, 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 ...

Neuropeptide W [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
Neuropeptide W (NPW), which was first isolated from the porcine hypothalamus, exists in two forms, consisting of 23 (NPW23) or 30 (NPW30) amino acids. These neuropeptides bind to one of two NPW receptors, either NPBWR1 (otherwise known as GPR7) or NPBWR2 (GPR8), which belong to the G protein-coupled receptor family.

Migraine and neuropeptides [PDF]

open access: yesNeuropeptides, 2015
Migraine is a common disabling neurovascular primary headache disorder. The pathomechanism is not clear, but extensive preclinical and clinical studies are ongoing. The structural basis of the leading hypothesis is the trigeminovascular system, which includes the trigeminal ganglion, the meningeal vasculature, and the distinct nuclei of the brainstem ...

Recent advances in neuropeptide-related omics and gene editing: Spotlight on NPY and somatostatin and their roles in growth and food intake of fish

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Feeding and growth are two closely related and important physiological processes in living organisms. Studies in mammals have provided us with a series of characterizations of neuropeptides and their receptors as well as their roles in appetite control ...

Role of the Vasopressin/Apelin Balance and Potential Use of Metabolically Stable Apelin Analogs in Water Metabolism Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2017
Apelin, a (neuro)vasoactive peptide, plays a prominent role in controlling body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular functions. In animal models, experimental data demonstrate that intracerebroventricular injection of apelin into lactating rats inhibits ...

Intranasal Administration of PACAP Is an Efficient Delivery Route to Reduce Infarct Volume and Promote Functional Recovery After Transient and Permanent Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Intranasal (IN) administration appears to be a suitable route for clinical use as it allows direct delivery of bioactive molecules to the central nervous system, reducing systemic exposure and sides effects.

Review: Neuropeptide Control of Feeding Behavior in Birds and its Difference with Mammals

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2016
Feeding is an essential behavior for animals to sustain their lives. Over the past several decades, many neuropeptides that regulate feeding behavior have been identified in vertebrates.

Expression and Distribution of Neuropeptide-Expressing Cells Throughout the Rodent Paraventricular Nucleus of the Thalamus

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2021
The paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) has been shown to make significant contributions to affective and motivated behavior, but a comprehensive description of the neurochemicals expressed in the cells of this brain region has never been ...

Identification and characterization of expression profiles of neuropeptides and their GPCRs in the swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2021
Neuropeptides and their G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) regulate multiple physiological processes. Currently, little is known about the identity of native neuropeptides and their receptors in Portunus trituberculatus.
