Neuropeptide Receptors and Astrocytes
1994Publisher Summary This chapter highlights neuropeptide receptors and astrocytes. It summarizes the capabilities of astrocytes to react to external and particularly to neuropeptide stimuli from the neuropil. The chapter focuses on astrocytes from the adult brain in situ on glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive astrocytes cultivated from ...

Inhibitory neuropeptide receptors on macrophages
Microbes and Infection, 2001The immune response, both in innate and adaptive immunity, is controlled at several levels, including signaling from the central nervous system. Neuropeptides released within the lymphoid organs modulate the immune response, either as stimulators or inhibitors.

Identification of a platyhelminth neuropeptide receptor
International Journal for Parasitology, 2007We report the characterisation of the first neuropeptide receptor from the phylum Platyhelminthes, an early-diverging phylum which includes a number of important human and veterinary parasites. The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) was identified from the model flatworm Girardia tigrina (Tricladida: Dugesiidae) based on the presence of motifs widely ...

Presynaptic Neuropeptide Receptors
2008Presynaptic receptors for four families of neuropeptides will be discussed: opioids, neuropeptide Y, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and orexins. Presynaptic receptors for the opioids (micro, delta, kappa, and ORL(1)) and neuropeptide Y (Y(2)) inhibit transmitter release from a variety of neurones, both in the peripheral and central nervous systems.

Neuropeptides and their receptors: a psychosomatic network
The Journal of Immunology, 1985Abstract A major conceptual shift in neuroscience has been wrought by the realization that brain function is modulated by numerous chemicals in addition to classical neurotransmitters. Many of these informational substances are neuropeptides, originally studied in other contexts as hormones, “gut peptides,” or growth factors.

Neuropeptide Y1 subtype pharmacology of a recombinantly expressed neuropeptide receptor.
Molecular Pharmacology, 1992Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is an important central and peripheral modulator of neural and endocrine functions. This neuropeptide interacts with at least two pharmacologically distinct receptors, termed Y1 and Y2. At Y1 receptors, the NPY analog [Leu31,Pro34] NPY, but not the carboxyl-terminal fragment NPY-(18-36), displaces radiolabeled NPY and the sequence ...

Evolutionary history of the neuropeptide S receptor/neuropeptide S system
General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2014The neuropeptide S receptor (NPSR) belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily and is activated by the neuropeptide S (NPS). Although recently discovered, the vertebrate NPSR-NPS system has been established as an important signaling system in the central nervous system and is involved in physiological processes such as locomotor ...

Neuropeptide influences on the development of their receptors
1988Publisher Summary This chapter describes the experiments that were initiated to determine whether the neuropeptides, a relatively new class of neurotransmitters and hormones, play a role in development. Experiments involving the three neuropeptides vasopressin (VP), substance P, and [met] enkephalin are described in the chapter. Neurotransmitters and

Neuropeptide Y receptor antagonists in obesity
Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 1997Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid amidated peptide with high sequence homology to the endocrine peptides, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). They appear to interact with a family of receptors that possess high affinity for one or more of these peptides.

Abstract Neuropeptide Y (NPY) was isolated from porcine brain almost two decades ago (Tatemoto and Mutt 1980). This 36 amino acid residues shares high sequence homology and structural identity with two other peptides, namely peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) (Tatemoto et al . 1982).
