...-related neuropeptides account for endogenous MIH activity produced by isolated gonads. We show that the MIH peptides are synthesised by neural-type cells in the gonad, are released following dark-light/light-dark transitions, and probably act on the oocyte surface. They are produced by male as well...

... by Ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH), which acts on the CNS to activate neurons that produce neuropeptides implicated in ecdysis, including Eclosion hormone (EH), Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) and Bursicon. Despite more than 40 years of research on ecdysis, our understanding of the precise roles...

..., with the full spectrum of endocrine cell subtypes not yet fully characterized. Here, we combine molecular mapping, lineage tracing and genetic analysis in the adult fruit fly to gain new insight into the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing enteroendocrine cell diversity. Neuropeptide hormone...

... be especially informative to reveal further details of the mechanisms of dimm action. Four regulatory factors have now been defined that affect FMRF neuropeptide levels in Tv neurons. Loss-of-function ap ( Benveniste et al., 1998 ), Chip ( Van Meyel et al.,2000 ) and dimm (this report) alleles all decrease...

...-355 (FPQSFLPRG-NH 2 ), was identified. A cDNA encoding the peptide was isolated and characterized. Using both in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, Hym-355 was shown to be expressed in neurons and hence is a neuropeptide. The peptide was shown to specifically enhance neuron differentiation...

... of survival as single trkA − / − and trkB − / − mice, respectively, suggesting that those neurons required both Trk signaling pathways for survival. In situ hybridisation analysis of DRG neurons of double mutant mice revealed differential expression of excitatory neuropeptides. Whereas calcitonin-gene-related...
