Neuropeptides are small protein-like molecules (peptides) used by neurons to communicate with each other. They are neuronal signaling molecules that influence the activity of the brain in specific ways.
Apidaecin-type peptides: biodiversity, structure-function relationships and mode of action. Apidaecins (apidaecin-type peptides) refer to a series of small, proline-rich (Pro-rich), 18- to 20-residue peptides produced by insects.They are the largest group of Pro-rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) known to date.pidaecin-type peptides: biodiversity, structure-function relationships and mode of action.
