Transcriptional regulation of neuropeptide receptors underlies context‐dependent adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Under environmental changes, the expression level of neuropeptide (NP) and neuropeptide receptor (NPR) genes changes to confer context‐dependent adaptation to the model organism Drosophila melanogaster. Through finding more regulatory elements in the NPR genes in comparison with their ligands (NPs), we found that NPR‐biased transcriptional regulation ...

WormBook, 2008 The role of neuropeptides in modulating behavior is slowly being elucidated. With the sequencing of the C. elegans genome, the extent of the neuropeptide genes in C. elegans can be determined. To date, 113 neuropeptide genes encoding over 250 distinct neuropeptides have been identified.

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

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

Fentanyl Family at the Mu-Opioid Receptor: Uniform Assessment of Binding and Computational Analysis
Molecules, 2019 Interactions of 21 fentanyl derivatives with μ-opioid receptor (μOR) were studied using experimental and theoretical methods. Their binding to μOR was assessed with radioligand competitive binding assay.
