Neuropeptide RFRP-2 (101-112) – Neuroscience Peptides

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 receptors,insuline-like peptides and also ion channels. Actions of neuropeptides result in slow-onset,long-lasting modulation of synaptic transmission. Pro-FMRFamide-related neuropeptide VF also called neuropeptide VF precursor are expressed in neurons in mediobasal hypothalamus. Neuropeptide VF precursor is a propeptide which is cleaved in three others peptide: Neuropeptide RFRP-1,RFRP-2 and RFRP-3. Neuropeptide RFRP-2 (101-112) is very interesting because RFRP-2 shows no inhibitory activity and RFRP-2 sequence is absent in mouse and rat.
