Article Synopsis
- Neural communication relies on both quick neurotransmitters and slower-acting neuromodulators, with neuropeptides being key players that influence behavior and physiology across species.
- Enzymes called neuropeptidases can deactivate these neuropeptides, shaping how long and where they signal in the body.
- In this study, researchers identified the neuropeptidase NEP-2 in C. elegans, which is essential for regulating specific neuropeptides linked to reproductive behavior and health, highlighting the importance of peptidases in neuropeptide signaling.
