The identification of structurally related hypothalamic hormones that regulate blood pressure
and diuresis (vasopressin, VP; CYFQNCPRG-NH2) or lactation and uterine contraction …

Neuropeptides are signalling molecules mainly secreted from neurons that act as
neurotransmitters or peptide hormones to affect physiological processes and modulate …

Abstract Sulfakinin (SK)/cholecystokinin (CCK)-type neuropeptides regulate feeding and
digestion in protostomes (eg insects) and chordates. Here, we characterised SK/CCK-type …

Somatostatin (SS) and allatostatin-C (ASTC) are structurally and evolutionarily related
neuropeptides that act as inhibitory regulators of physiological processes in mammals and …

Vasopressin/oxytocin (VP/OT)-type neuropeptide is an ancient neurophysin-associated
neuropeptide and has been intensively studied to be involved in multiple physiological …

Neuropeptides are one of the largest and most diverse families of signaling molecules in
animals and, accordingly, they regulate many physiological processes and behaviors …

Simple Summary Pentamerous radial symmetrical echinoderm adults develop from
bilaterally symmetrical larvae and are a great model for understanding the origin and …

Somatostatin (SS) and allatostatin-C (ASTC) are inhibitory neuropeptides in chordates and
protostomes, respectively, which hitherto were identified as orthologs. However …

Background Kisspeptins are neuropeptides that regulate reproductive maturation in
mammals via G-protein-coupled receptor-mediated stimulation of gonadotropin-releasing …

Many animals show pronounced changes in physiology and behavior across the annual
cycle, and these adaptations enable individuals to prioritize investing in the neuroendocrine …
