Neuropeptide B Products

Neuropeptide B is a endrogenous ligand of the orphan G protein coupled receptor GPR7. NPB and GPR7 exist in close proximity in the rat hypothalamus, and are ideally positioned to modulate neuroendocrine functions. NPB-immunoreactivity was enriched in many regions within the hypothalamus which also contained high levels of GPR7 mRNA including the ventrormedial hypothalamic nucleus, dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus, arcuate nucleus, supraoptic retrochiasmatic nucleus, and in the area ventral to the zona incerta.
