Structure and function of sea urchin neuropeptides [PDF]
, 2010 PhDThe subject of this thesis is the identification and functional characterization of sea urchin neuropeptides. Neuropeptides are important mediators of neural signalling in all known animals with a nervous system, including bilaterians, ctenophorans ...

Modulation of reproductive behaviours by neuropeptides in drosophila [PDF]
, 2022 All animals must adapt their behaviour according to their environment and intrinsic state. At the level of the nervous system, this demands flexibility in the output of neural circuits.

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.

The Evolution and Diversity of SALMFamide Neuropeptides [PDF]
, 2013 The SALMFamides are a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in echinoderms. Two types of SALMFamides have been identified: L-type (e.g.

Differential Changes in Expression of Stress- and Metabolic-related Neuropeptides in the Rat Hypothalamus during Morphine Dependence and Withdrawal [PDF]
, 2013 Chronic morphine treatment and naloxone precipitated morphine withdrawal activates stress-related brain circuit and results in significant changes in food intake, body weight gain and energy metabolism.

Neuropharmacology, 2015 The acid sensing ion channels (ASICs) are proton-gated cation channels expressed throughout the nervous system. ASICs are activated during acidic pH fluctuations, and recent work suggests that they are involved in excitatory synaptic transmission. ASICs can also induce neuronal degeneration and death during pathological extracellular acidosis caused by

Bioactivity and structural properties of chimeric analogs of the starfish SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 and S2 [PDF]
, 2014 The starfish SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 (GFNSALMFamide) and S2 (SGPYSFNSGLTFamide) are the prototypical members of a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in echinoderms.

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.
