Abstract
|
In general, there are different neurotransmitters in the human nervous system that play a role in sending nerve messages inside the brain and in other parts of the body. These transporters' origin and constituent constituents are various, and central nervous system transporters are generally divided into amino acids, monoamines, tris amines, peptides, purines, and catecholamines. This article surveys the different types of neuropeptides and their functions in the brain and outside it.
Neuropeptides are small proteins used by neurons to communicate with each other. Their activity is usually slow, and in other respects, they differ from small molecular transporters. Neuropeptides are made in the ribosomes of the cell body of neurons as the inner part of large protein molecules. The most critical
neuropeptides are neuropeptide y, neuropeptide ff, bradykinin, gastrin, insulin, calcitonin and vasopressin, prolactin, oxytocin, etc. These proteins play a completely different role outside the brain, so studying them will significantly help their widespread function in treating various neurological and non-neurological diseases
