Neuropeptides are chemical messengers made up of small chains of amino acids that are synthesized and released by neurons. Neuropeptides typically bind to G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to modulate neural activity and other tissues like the gut, muscles, and heart. | Neuropeptides are chemical messengers made up of small chains of amino acids that are synthesized and released by neurons.
