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

dichloro-1, 4-benuinone (2, 5-DCBQ) is an emerging disinfection by-product belonging to
the class of halobenzoquinones (HBQs). However, there is limited evidence regarding the …

Understanding the genetic basis of novel adaptations in new species is a fundamental
question in biology. Here we demonstrate a new role for galr2 in vertebrate craniofacial …

Spexin (SPX) is a highly conserved neuropeptide that is widely expressed in mammalian
brain and peripheral tissue. In teleost, SPX1 is mainly expressed in the brain and ovary, and …

Neurotrophins (NTF) are a family of secreted nerve growth factors with affinity for tyrosine
kinase (Ntrk) and p75 receptors. To fully understand the variety of developmental roles …

Galanin is a neuropeptide widely expressed in the nervous system, but it is also present in
non-neuronal locations. In the brain, galanin may function as an inhibitory neurotransmitter …

Galanin (GAL) is a 29 amino acid peptide, first identified from the porcine intestine and
widely distributed within the brain and peripheral tissues. Among GAL biological functions …

Stress responses are fundamental for the survival of an organism and constitute an adaptive
reaction to a real or perceived threat. Neuronal, endocrine, and behavioral responses are …

Galanin is a peptide that is conserved among different species and plays various roles in an
organism, although its entire role is not completely understood. For many years, galanin has …
