Mutagenesis studies of neuropeptide S identify a suitable peptide tracer for neuropeptide S receptor binding studies and peptides selectively activating the I(107) variant of human neuropeptide S receptor.

Abstract excerpt

Neuropeptide S and its receptor represent a novel neurotransmitter system mainly expressed in the brain. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the first extracellular loop (I107) increases the potency of neuropeptide S and has been identified for both the human neuropeptide S receptor short (A) and long (B) C-terminal forms. Preliminary human genetic studies link this polymorphism to asthma, panic disorders and...
