Structural analysis of the starfish SALMFamide neuropeptides S1 and S2: The N-terminal region of S2 facilitates self-association [PDF]
, 2014 The neuropeptides S1 (GFNSALMFamide) and S2 (SGPYSFNSGLTFamide), which share sequence similarity, were discovered in the starfish Asterias rubens and are prototypical members of the SALMFamide family of neuropeptides in echinoderms.

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.

Applied Sciences, 2022 Neuropeptides are mainly secreted from the human central and peripheral nervous systems. Neuropeptides bind to its cognate rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) and perform various physiological functions.

Migraine and neuropeptides [PDF]
Neuropeptides, 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 ...

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.

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 functional significance of neuropeptide cocktails: insights from SALMFamides in asteroid echinodermsThe evolution and functional significance of neuropeptide cocktails: insights from SALMFamides in asteroid echinoderms [PDF]
Open BiologyNeuropeptides derived from larger precursor proteins are neuronal signalling molecules that regulate physiological processes and behaviour. Some precursors, particularly in invertebrates, give rise to ‘cocktails’ of structurally related neuropeptides ...
