Involvement of mammalian RF-amide peptides and their receptors in the modulation of nociception in rodents
Mammalian RF-amide peptides, which all share a conserved carboxyl-terminal Arg-Phe-NH2 sequence, constitute a family of five groups of neuropeptides that are encoded by five different genes. They act through five G protein-coupled receptors and each group of peptide binds to and activates mostly one...
