Perception of a conserved family of plant signalling peptides by the receptor kinase HSL3

eLife, 2022
Plant genomes encode hundreds of secreted peptides; however, relatively few have been characterised. We report here an uncharacterised, stress-induced family of plant signalling peptides, which we call CTNIPs.

The role of gut endocrine cells in control of metabolism and appetite. [PDF]

, 2014
After food is ingested, nutrients pass through the gastrointestinal tract, stimulating the release of a range of peptide hormones. Among their many local, central and peripheral actions, these hormones act to mediate glucose metabolism and satiety ...

Natriuretic peptides: Diagnostic and therapeutic use

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2011
Natriuretic peptides (NPs) are hormones which are mainly secreted from heart and have important natriuretic and kaliuretic properties. There are four different groups NPs identified till date [atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), B-type natriuretic peptide (

Socio-affective communication in Tph2-deficient rat pups: communal nesting aggravates growth retardation despite ameliorating maternal affiliation deficits

Molecular Autism
Background A lack of serotonin (also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) in the brain due to deficiency of the rate-limiting enzyme in 5-HT synthesis, tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2), was recently reported to result in impaired maternal affiliation ...

secCl is a cys-loop ion channel necessary for the chloride conductance that mediates hormone-induced fluid secretion in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2019
Organisms use circulating diuretic hormones to control water balance (osmolarity), thereby avoiding dehydration and managing excretion of waste products.

Defying the stereotype: non-canonical roles of the peptide hormones guanylin and uroguanylin

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2011
The peptide hormones uroguanylin and guanylin have been traditionally thought to be mediators of fluid-ion homeostasis in the vertebrate intestine. They serve as ligands for receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C), and both receptor and ligands are expressed ...

Development of High Affinity Calcitonin Analog Fragments Targeting Extracellular Domains of Calcitonin Family Receptors

Biomolecules, 2021
The calcitonin and amylin receptors (CTR and AMY receptors) are the drug targets for osteoporosis and diabetes treatment, respectively. Salmon calcitonin (sCT) and pramlintide were developed as peptide drugs that activate these receptors.
