Example sentences for: neuropeptide
How can you use “neuropeptide” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Vasopressin is a neurotransmitter released centrally to affect various behaviors, e.g. arousal [ 7 ] , temperature regulation [ 8 9 ] , aggression [ 10 11 ] , memory [ 12 ] and grooming [ 13 ] . However, the ability of centrally acting AVP to induce intense stereotyped behaviors [ 1 14 ] raises the possibility that this neuropeptide may be associated with the induction of compulsive behaviors in humans.
For instance, mRNA for the neuropeptide Y-like receptor (Acc# X71635), which was up-regulated in Tat expressing cells, was initially discovered as a G-protein coupled neuropeptide Y receptor, and later found to be homologous to the co-receptor CCR5 needed for HIV-1 infection of monocyte/macrophage cells.
These include somatostatin, protachykinin, beta-tachykinin, neuropeptide Y (NPY), neurokinin B, and nociceptin.
BMP-6 and BMP-7 as well as dpp subgroup members, BMP-2 and BMP-4, have been shown to influence other aspects of sympathetic neuron development, such as differentiation of adrenergic sympathetic neurons from neural crest [ 13 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 ] and neuropeptide phenotype [ 39 ] . It will be of interest to determine if BMP-5 also exhibits functional redundancy with respect to these effects.
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.
