Regulation of neurosteroid biosynthesis by neurotransmitters and neuropeptides

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
The enzymatic pathways leading to the synthesis of bioactive steroids in the brain are now almost completely elucidated in various groups of vertebrates and, during the last decade, the neuronal mechanisms involved in the regulation of neurosteroid ...

Identification and Characterization of the Corazonin Receptor and Possible Physiological Roles of the Corazonin-Signaling Pathway in Rhodnius prolixus. [PDF]

, 2016
Neuropeptides control many physiological and endocrinological processes in animals, acting as neuroactive chemicals within the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Transcriptomic analysis of crustacean neuropeptide signaling during the moult cycle in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis is well studied in insects, but details of the crustacean ecdysis cassette are ...

Identifying functional populations among the interneurons in laminae I-III of the spinal dorsal horn [PDF]

, 2017
The spinal dorsal horn receives input from primary afferent axons, which terminate in a modality-specific fashion in different laminae. The incoming somatosensory information is processed through complex synaptic circuits involving excitatory and ...

NPF activates a specific NPF receptor and regulates food intake in Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai

Scientific Reports, 2021
Neuropeptides function through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with high specificity, implying a significant degree of neuropeptide-GPCR coevolution. However, potential neuropeptide signaling systems in non-chordates are relatively elusive.

Neuropeptide Y receptors activation protects rat retinal neural cells against necrotic and apoptotic cell death induced by glutamate

Cell Death and Disease, 2013
It has been claimed that glutamate excitotoxicity might have a role in the pathogenesis of several retinal degenerative diseases, including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

Allatostatin-A neurons inhibit feeding behavior in adult Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
How the brain translates changes in internal metabolic state or perceived food quality into alterations in feeding behavior remains poorly understood.

Interactions of zebrafish peptide YYb with the neuropeptide Y-family receptors Y4, Y7, Y8a, and Y8b

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system influences numerous physiological functions including feeding behavior, endocrine regulation, and cardiovascular regulation. In jawed vertebrates it consists of 3–4 peptides and 4–7 receptors.

NPY1R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y1) [PDF]

Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology, 2011
Review on NPY1R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y1), with data on DNA, on the protein encoded, and where the gene is implicated.

Structural basis of ligand binding modes at the neuropeptide Y Y1 receptor

Nature, 2018
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily and have important roles in food intake, anxiety and cancer biology1,2.
