Molecular evolution and functional characterization of the orexigenic peptide 26RFa and its receptor in vertebrates

Several neuropeptides possessing the RFamide motif at their C-termini (designated RFamide peptides) have been characterized in the hypothalamus of a variety of vertebrates. To date, five groups of the RFamide peptide family have been shown to exert several important neuroendocrine, behavioral, senso...
