Spexin (SPX) and galanin (GAL) are two neuropeptides that are phylogenetically related
and have descended from a common ancestral gene. Considerable attention has been …

Neuropeptides are involved in numerous brain activities being responsible for a wide
spectrum of higher mental functions. The purpose of this concise, structural and qualitative …

Spexin is the most recently discovered member of the galanin/kisspeptin/spexin family of
peptides. This 14-amino acid peptide is highly conserved and is implicated in homeostatic …

Spexin (SPX) sa recently discovered endogenous peptide consisting of 14 amino acids. It
was found that SPX, kisspeptin (KISS), and galanin (GAL) peptides belong to the same gene …

Spexin (SPX), a novel peptide coevolved with the galanin/kisspeptin family, was first
identified by bioinformatics prior to its protein purification/functional studies. Its mature …

The function of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuron is critical to maintain
reproductive function and a significant decrease in GnRH can lead to disorders affecting …

Spexin (SPX) is a pleiotropic peptide with highly conserved protein sequence from fish to
mammals and its biological actions are mediated by GalR2/GalR3 receptors expressed in …

Spexin (SPX) is a novel neuropeptide, which was first identified in the human genome using
bioinformatics. Since then, orthologs of human SPX have been identified in mammalian and …

Spexin (Spx), a novel neuropeptide, composed of 14 amino acid residues, is evolutionally
conserved from fish to mammals. It has been suggested that Spx has pleiotropic functions in …

The novel neuropeptide spexin (SPX) was discovered using bioinformatics. The function of
this peptide is currently under investigation. Here, we identified SPX along with a second …
