FMRF amide (neuropeptide C molluscan cardioexcitatory peptide) is a tetrapeptide isolated from the mollusc Macrocallista nimbosa, and is a putative molluscan neurotransmitter acting at an ion-channel-receptor complex. It has CARDIAC STIMULANT properties. [Pg.124]

The conorfamides, isolated from Conus spurius, belong to the RFamide neuropeptide family and may act as an agonist of the FMRF-amide-gated ion channels. In invertebrates, this peptide family has many diverse functions, whereas in the mammalian system they moderate opioid function in the CNS, modulate epithelial Na" " channels, have important cardiovascular effects, and stimulate pancreatic somatostatin secretion. ... [Pg.521]

Do arachidonate metabolites participate in the inhibitory actions of histamine This question is difficult to address because the precise ionic conductances regulated by this neurotransmitter are still only partially understood. A similar hypothesis may be tested, however, with another modulatory substance, the neuropeptide FMRF-amide. Like histamine, FMRF-amide has distinctive and well-characterized inhibitory effects on Aplysia neurons, particularly on the clusters of sensory cells located in the animal s abdominal and pleural ganglia. The neuropeptide hyperpolarizes the membrane potential of these neurons and consequently decreases neurotransmitter release by causing the opening of a subclass of potassium channels, called S-channels. ... [Pg.140]
