COCAINE AND AMPHETAMINE REGULATED TRANSCRIPT
Overview
Cocaine and amphetamine regulated transcript (CART) peptide has been shown, to be an anorectic peptide that inhibits both normal and, starvation-induced feeding and completely blocks the feeding response, induced by neuropeptide Y and regulated by leptin in the hypothalamus. The, C-terminal part containing the three disulfide bridges CART(48-89) is the, biologically active part of the molecule affecting food intake. The, solution structure of the active part of CART has a fold equivalent to, other functionally distinct small proteins. CART consists mainly of turns, and loops spanned by a compact framework composed by a few small stretches, of antiparallel beta-sheet common to cystine knots.
