Vasoactive Peptides and Their Receptors
Journal of Vascular Research, 1990Peptides act as vasoconstrictors (for instance angiotensins, vasopressin) or vasodilators (the kinins, the neurokinins), both through direct activation of specific receptors in the vascular smooth muscles or indirectly through the release of other endogenous inhibitors of the vascular tone.

Formyl-Peptide Receptors in Infection, Inflammation, and Cancer.
Trends in immunology, 2018Formyl-peptide receptors (FPRs) recognize bacterial and mitochondrial formylated peptides as well as endogenous non-formylated peptides and even lipids. FPRs are expressed on various host cell types but most strongly on neutrophils and macrophages. After

Biological Chemistry, 2016
AbstractThis paper is divided into two sections: the first contains the essential elements of the opening lecture presented by Pr. Regoli to the 2015 International Kinin Symposium in S. Paulo, Brazil on June 28th and the second is the celebration of Dr. Regoli’s 60 years of research on vasoactive peptides.

Opioid Peptides and their Receptors
1982The three agonists, methionine-enkephalin, leucine-enkephalin and beta-endorphin have different pharmacological patterns. It may be of particular importance that they vary in their relative affinities to the enkephalin and naltrexone binding sites in the brain; the former are probably related to delta-receptors prevalent in the mouse vas deferens and ...

Peptide Receptors on Astrocytes
Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology, 1998In recent years, it has become apparent that astrocytes (at least in vitro) harbor functional receptors to almost all possible neurotransmitters (with the potential noticeable exception of acetylcholine nicotinic receptors). Peptides are no exception, since receptors to all neuropeptides known to be produced in the CNS have been found on cultured ...

1991
A large number of peptide hormones have been identified and are known to elicit a wide variety of biological responses from target cells throughout the body. These hormones exert their effects by interaction with receptors which are integral components of the cell surface membrane.

Receptors for Relaxin Family Peptides
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2005Abstract: Recent studies have identified four receptors that are the physiological targets for relaxin family peptides. All are class I (rhodopsin like) G‐protein‐coupled receptors with LGR7 (RXFP1) and LGR8 (RXFP2) being type C leucine‐rich repeat‐containing receptors, whereas GPCR135 (RXFP3) and GPCR142 (RXFP4) resemble receptors that respond to ...

Peptide Receptors in the Airways
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1987Abstract Two categories of peptides exert opposing effects on the isolated guinea pig trachea. Neurokinins (substance P [SP] and congeners) provoke contraction, and kinins (bradykinin) provoke relaxation. Both peptide categories promote the release of relaxing prostaglandins that oppose the contractions induced by neurokinins and ...

Pharmacological Reviews, 1998
Based on structural and evolutionary criteria, neuropeptide Y (NPY)b, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypetide (PP) are closely related polypeptides ([Larhammar, 1996a][1]).

MHC molecules as peptide receptors
Current Opinion in Immunology, 1993The central unit for regulation of the specific immune system is a trimolecular complex made up of the T cell antigen receptor, the MHC molecule, and the MHC ligand. The third component is a peptide derived as a degradation product from a protein. During recent years there has been some progress in understanding the interaction between MHC molecules ...
