This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

Peptides are important bioactive natural products which are present in many marine
species. These marine peptides have high potential nutraceutical and medicinal values …

Neuropeptides and peptide hormones are ancient, widespread signaling molecules that
underpin almost all brain functions. They constitute a broad ligand-receptor network, mainly …

Neuropeptides are a diverse class of neuronal signalling molecules that regulate
physiological processes and behaviour in animals. However, determining the relationships …

In nervous systems, there are two main modes of transmission for the propagation of activity
between cells. Synaptic transmission relies on close contact at chemical or electrical …

Tachykinins (TKs) are ancient neuropeptides present throughout the bilaterians and are,
with some exceptions, characterized by a conserved FX1GX2Ramide carboxy terminus …

Pelagic larval stages are widespread across animals, yet it is unclear whether larvae were
present in the last common ancestor of animals or whether they evolved multiple times due …

Neuropeptides are evolutionarily ancient mediators of neuronal signalling in nervous
systems. With recent advances in genomics/transcriptomics, an increasingly wide range of …

Numerous neuropeptide systems have been implicated to coordinately control energy
homeostasis, both centrally and peripherally. However, the vertebrate neuropeptide Y (NPY) …

Neuropeptides, representing the largest class of neuromodulators, commonly signal by G-
protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). While the neuropeptide repertoire of several metazoans …
