Metamorphosin A is a neuropeptide
Roux's Archives of Developmental Biology, 1995A novel biologically active peptide (metamorphosin A, MMA, pEQPGLW.NH2) has recently been described. It was isolated from Anthopleura elegantissima and triggers metamorphosis in Hydractinia echinata. Antibodies directed against the C-terminal part of the molecule immunohistochemically stain neurosensory cells and processes in the anterior part of ...

Neuropeptides and psychopathology
Endeavour, 1980Abstract Although the adaptive processes of animals are under the control of the central nervous system there is clear evidence of the involvement also of hormones produced by the endocrine glands. It further appears that the effect may not depend on the whole hormone molecule but on only a part of it, known as a neuropeptide.

We know neuropeptides now for over 40 years as chemical signals in the brain. The discovery of neuropeptides is founded on groundbreaking research in physiology, endocrinology, and biochemistry during the last century and has been built on three seminal notions: (1) peptide hormones are chemical signals in the endocrine system; (2) neurosecretion of ...

The present article provides a brief overview of various aspects on neuropeptides, emphasizing their multitude and their wide distribution in both the peripheral and central nervous system. Interestingly, neuropeptides are also expressed in various types of glial cells under normal and experimental conditions.

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1995
Neuropeptides are a heterogeneous group of more than 50 molecules that play a role in various cutaneous functions and diseases; they act as neuromodulators, neurotransmitters, neurohormones, and hormones. In the skin, neuropeptides are synthesized locally (i.e., in keratinocytes and in endothelial cells) and are transported by nerve fibers or immune ...

Cnidarians are the lowest animal group having a nervous system. In the primitive nervous systems of cnidarians, peptides play important roles as neurotransmitters or neurohormones. So far, we have isolated and sequenced about 35 neuropeptides from different cnidarian classes (Hydrozoa, Scyphozoa, Anthozoa).

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1998
Although asthma is considered to be an inflammatory disease of the airways, neural mechanisms remain very important. Neural control of airways is far more complex than has been previously recognized. In addition to the classic neural pathways, the nonadrenergic, noncholinergic pathway has been described in the airways of animals and humans ...

Neuropeptides in the hypothalamus
The hypothalamus is one of the most complex region in the central nervous system regarding neuroanatomy, neurochemical content, neuropeptide/classical neurotransmitter interactions, physiological actions, and pathophysiology. Hypothalamic neuropeptides have been involved in a large plethora of mechanisms related with obesity, anxiety, feeding, energy ...Pilar, Marcos +2 more

Crustaceans have long been used for peptide research. For example, the process of neurosecretion was first formally demonstrated in the crustacean X-organ-sinus gland system, and the first fully characterized invertebrate neuropeptide was from a shrimp.

Neuropeptides are, by definition, small amino acid components that are localized to neurons. Originally described in the gastrointestinal tract, neuropeptides were first termed “gut hormones.” Subsequently, the same peptides were also found in the brain and were termed “gut-brain hormones.” It is now apparent, however, that these peptides are present ...
