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.

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

Frontiers 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 ...

Neuropeptide W [PDF]

Frontiers 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.

Strategies for the Identification of Bioactive Neuropeptides in Vertebrates

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Neuropeptides exert essential functions in animal physiology by controlling e.g., reproduction, development, growth, energy homeostasis, cardiovascular activity and stress response.

Monoamines differentially modulate neuropeptide release from distinct sites within a single neuron pair. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Monoamines and neuropeptides often modulate the same behavior, but monoaminergic-peptidergic crosstalk remains poorly understood. In Caenorhabditis elegans, the adrenergic-like ligands, tyramine (TA) and octopamine (OA) require distinct subsets of ...

Screening the function of genes encoding neuropeptides and their receptors in Nilaparvata lugens

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2022
Neuropeptides are crucial for life activities and environmental fitness of insects, which are potential targets for pest control. The brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) is an important pest on rice in Asia.

The Evolution and Diversity of SALMFamide Neuropeptides

, 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.

Modulation of Locomotion and Reproduction by FLP Neuropeptides in the Nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Neuropeptides function in animals to modulate most, if not all, complex behaviors. In invertebrates, neuropeptides can function as the primary neurotransmitter of a neuron, but more generally they co-localize with a small molecule neurotransmitter, as is

Role of Neuropeptides in Sarcomas

, 2023
Neuropeptides are among the most abundant chemical messengers produced in the brain that can function as neurotransmitters or hormones. Neuropeptides are synthesized and used by a neuron.

The Role of Hypothalamic Neuropeptides in Regulation of Liver Functions in Health and Disease

Endocrines, 2023
The communication between brain and peripheral tissues is mediated by neuropeptides that coordinate the functions of each organ with the activities of the entire body in specific environmental conditions.
