How can you use “neuropeptide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
POMC is a hypothalamic neuropeptide, and a target for leptin.
Classical neurotransmitter receptors such as muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR), adrenergic, dopaminergic, serotoninergic as well as neuropeptide receptors belong to this family ( 1).
In this study, we have examined the fundamental consequences of labeling the neuropeptide SP with five different fluorescent probes by comparing the effects of the labeled compounds with those of the parent compound, SP.
After more chronic exposure, this delicate balance could plausibly become disrupted, leading to glucocorticoid-mediated development of the metabolic syndrome [ 10 ] . Thus interactions between insulin, leptin, and glucocorticoids, and the neuropeptide responses they generate within the melanocortin system, allow complex metabolic responses to nutritional status but may also allow the development of metabolic pathologies.
This putative association is strengthened by finding for the first time that targeting of RIα requires the AKAP binding surface [ 17 ] . Yotiao is another AKAP enriched at the NMJ, but appears to bind only RII [ 30 ] . PKA phosphorylates the nAChR when stimulated at the synapse by the neuropeptide CGRP and by adenosine from muscle responding to acetylcholine [reviewed by [ 31 ] ]. This phosphorylation may regulate the degradation of the nAChR [ 32 ] . Consistent with the action at the presynapse, it was shown that PKA facilitation of acetylcholine release is dependent on nerve endplate calcium concentration [ 33 ] . Based on our observation of colocalization with synaptophysin at presynaptic vesicles, RIα may be the isotype that influences this release of neurotransmitter.
