The NPB/NPW neuropeptide system and its role in regulating energy homeostasis, pain, and emotion.

Results and problems in cell differentiation - 1 Jan 2008

Hondo Mari, Ishii Makoto, Sakurai Takeshi

Abstract excerpt

Neuropeptide B (NPB) and neuropeptide W (NPW) are neuropeptides that were recently identified as endogenous ligands for the previously orphan G-protein coupled receptors, GPR7 (NPBWR1) and GPR8 (NPBWR2). This neuropeptide system is thought to have a role in regulating feeding behavior, energy homeostasis, neuroendocrine function, and modulating inflammatory pain. Strong and discrete expression of their receptors...
