Neuropeptide NPSF

Neuropeptide: Neuropeptides are small signaling molecules produced and released by neurons engaged in many physiological functions. Indeed, neuropeptides act on neural substrates such as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), tyrosine-kinase receptor, insuline-like peptides and also ion channels. Actions of neuropeptides result in slow-onset, long-lasting modulation of synaptic transmission. Neuropeptide NPSF (SQAFLFQPQRF-NH2) : Neuropeptide NPSF (SQAFLFQPQRF-NH2) is part of the FMRFamide-related peptides family. Neuropeptide NPSF has shown an important role in pain regulation and plays a role of anti-opiate. Moreover, Neuropeptide NPSF seems to be implicate in variety of physiological processes such as food intake, insulin release, blood pressure regulation and electrolyte balance. Neuropeptide NPSF (SQAFLFQPQRF-NH2) is useful in opioid research.
