Abstract

The neuropeptide S receptor (NPS receptor) responds to the 20 amino-acid peptide neuropeptide S derived from a precursor (NPS, P0C0P6). NPS activates its receptor at low nanomolar concentrations elevating intracellular cAMP and calcium levels [71]. Currently, some peptidic and small molecule NPS receptor antagonists are available as research tools [27, 79, 8, 59]. No NPS receptor ligands are currently used clinically.

GtoPdb is an expert-driven guide to pharmacological targets and the substances that act on them. GtoPdb is a reference work which is most usefully represented as an on-line database. As in any publication this work should be appropriately cited, and the papers it cites should also be recognized. This document provides a citation for the relevant parts of the database, and also provides a reference list for the research cited by those parts. For further details see [6].

Please note that the database version for the citations given in GtoPdb are to the most recent preceding version in which the family or its subfamilies and targets were substantially changed. The links below are to the current version. If you need to consult the cited version, rather than the most recent version, please contact the GtoPdb curators.
