Neuropeptides

25 Sept 2008

Abstract excerpt

The role of neuropeptides in modulating behavior is slowly being elucidated. With the sequencing of the C. elegans genome, the extent of the neuropeptide genes in C. elegans can be determined. To date, 113 neuropeptide genes encoding over 250 distinct neuropeptides have been identified. Of these, 40 genes encode insulin-like peptides, 31 genes encode FMRFamide-related peptides, and 42 genes encode non-insulin,...
