Abstract Neuropeptide FF (NPFF) and Neuropeptide VF (NPVF) are part of the extended
RFamide peptide family characterized by their common arginine (R) and amidated …

Different neuropeptides, all containing a common carboxy-terminal RFamide sequence,
have been characterized as ligands of the RFamide peptide receptor family. Currently, five …

Background and purpose: Neuropeptide S (NPS) was recently identified as the endogenous
ligand of an orphan receptor, now referred to as the NPS receptor. In vivo, NPS produces a …

Central administration of neuropeptide S (NPS) in rodents induces arousal and prolonged
wakefulness as well as anxiolytic-like effects. NPS has also been implicated in modulation of …

Feeding is an essential behavior for animals to sustain their lives. Over the past several
decades, many neuropeptides that regulate feeding behavior have been identified in …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is the last neuropeptide identified via reverse pharmacology
techniques. NPS selectively binds and activates a previous orphan GPCR, now named …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a recently discovered peptide which induces hyperlocomotion,
anxiolysis and wakefulness. This study aimed to compare behavioral and biochemical …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a recently discovered peptide shown to be involved in regulating
arousal and anxiety. NPS receptor (NPSR) mRNA is expressed significantly in the major …

Neuropeptide S (NPS), a recently identified bioactive peptide through reverse pharmacology
approach, was reported to regulate arousal, anxiety, locomotor activity, feeding behaviors …

Neuropeptide S (NPS) regulates various biological functions by selectively activating the
NPS receptor (NPSR). Previous studies demonstrated that the non-peptide molecule SHA …
