EFFECT OF FMRFAMIDE-LIKE PEPTIDES ON THE PHARYNGEAL MUSCLE OF NEMATODES

Российский паразитологический журнал, 2016
FMRFamide-like peptides play an important physiological role in the enteric nervous system of nematodes.This is confirmed by immunocytochemical data on the presence and localization of neuropeptides in the pharynx of parasitic nematode Ascaris suum ...

Neuronal transcriptome analyses reveal novel neuropeptide modulators of excitation and inhibition imbalance in C. elegans.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Neuropeptides are secreted molecules that have conserved roles modulating many processes, including mood, reproduction, and feeding. Dysregulation of neuropeptide signaling is also implicated in neurological disorders such as epilepsy.

Identifying neuropeptide Y (NPY) as the main stress-related substrate of dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4) in blood circulation

, 2022
S.21-34Background: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP4; EC 3.4.14.5; CD26) is a membrane-bound or shedded serine protease that hydrolyzes dipeptides from the N-terminus of peptides with either proline or alanine at the penultimate position.

Neuropeptides in the Gonads: From Evolution to Pharmacology

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2010
Vertebrate gonads are the sites of synthesis and binding of many peptides that were initially classified as neuropeptides. These gonadal neuropeptide systems are neither well understood in isolation, nor in their interactions with other neuropeptide ...

Neuropeptides Phylogeny and Evolution

, 2009
Neuropeptides constitute a huge class of signaling molecules in the nervous system of many groups of animals. The phylogenetic relationships of neuropeptides have been difficult to determine across distantly related phyla because of their short amino ...

Neuropeptidergic Regulation of Food Intake in the Neonatal Chick: A Review

The Journal of Poultry Science, 2007
Immediately after hatching, neonatal chicks can find their food and control food intake, but the mechanisms for feeding are not completely understood. Food intake regulation in the brain involves neuropeptides.
