High impact information on NPFFR2

 

Biological context of NPFFR2

 

Anatomical context of NPFFR2

  • Characterization of the NPGP receptor and identification of a novel short mRNA isoform in human hypothalamus [1].
  • In situ hybridisation analysis of rat brain tissue confirms this result and identifies the hippocampus and amygdala nuclei as the brain areas with particular high expression of GPR74 mRNA [7].
  • Furthermore, immunohistochemically, NPFF receptor 2-protein was demonstrated to be increased in the primary afferents in the spinal cord of rats with peripheral inflammation [8].
  • At low levels, NPGPR message is detectable in several other tissues including spleen, prostate, brain, heart, ovary, colon, kidney, lung, liver, and pancreas [9].
 

Associations of NPFFR2 with chemical compounds

  • Therefore, we used binding studies to examine the interaction of NPFF, orexin and NPY with the NPGPR [1].
  • The efficacy of PFR(Tic)amide was significantly greater than that of (1DMe)Y8Fa, a stable analog of NPFF, and PFR(Tic)amide can therefore be classified as a 'super-agonist'. BIBP3226 did act as a reversible competitive antagonist on the hNPFF2 receptor [10].
  • The activities of these analogues were evaluated by their ability to both inhibit adenylate cyclase in NPFF2 receptor transfected CHO cells and to reverse the effect of nociceptin on acutely dissociated rat dorsal raphe neurons [11].
