Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a neuropeptide found in human and mammalian brain, mainly produced by neurons in the amygdala and between Barrington's nucleus and the locus coeruleus, although NPS-responsive neurons extend projections into many other brain areas. [5] [6] [7] NPS binds specifically to a G protein-coupled receptor, NPSR. [8] [9] Animal studies show that NPS suppresses anxiety and appetite, induces wakefulness [10] and hyperactivity, including hyper-sexuality, and plays a significant role in the extinction of conditioned fear. [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] It has also been shown to significantly enhance dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway, [17] and inhibits motility and increases permeability in neurocrine fashion acting through NO in the myenteric plexus in rats and humans. [18]

Synthetic ligands

The non-peptide NPS receptor antagonist SHA-68 blocks the effects of NPS in animals and is anxiogenic. [19] Several peptide derived NPS agonists and antagonists have also been developed. [20] [21] [22] [23] [24]
