Neurochemical characterisation of lamina II inhibitory interneurons that express GFP in the PrP-GFP mouse [PDF]
, 2013 Background Inhibitory interneurons in the superficial dorsal horn play important roles in modulating sensory transmission, and these roles are thought to be performed by distinct functional populations. We have identified 4 non-overlapping classes among

Interaction of NPY compounds with the rat glucocorticoid-induced receptor (GIR) reveals similarity to the NPY–Y2 receptor [PDF]
Peptides, 2007 The rat glucocorticoid-induced receptor (rGIR) is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor awaiting pharmacological characterization. Among known receptors, rGIR exhibits highest sequence similarity to the neuropeptide Y (NPY)-Y(2) receptor (38-40%). The pharmacological profile of rGIR was investigated using (125)I-PYY(3-36), a Y(2)-preferring radioligand ...

The evolution and variety of RFamide-type neuropeptides: insights from deuterostomian invertebrates [PDF]
, 2014 Five families of neuropeptides that have a C-terminal RFamide motif have been identified in vertebrates: (1) gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), (2) neuropeptide FF (NPFF), (3) pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP), (4) prolactin-releasing peptide (

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.We developed a cost‐effective methylation‐specific droplet digital PCR multiplex assay containing tissue‐conserved and tumor‐specific methylation markers. The assay can detect circulating tumor DNA with high accuracy in patients with localized and metastatic colorectal cancer.

Scientific Reports, 2017 Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and its receptors (especially Y1, Y2, and Y5) are highly expressed in brain regions involved in learning and memory processes. Accordingly, NPY was shown to modulate cognitive functions in rodents.
