title: A new peptide, 5-HT-moduline, isolated and purified from mammalian brain specifically interacts with 5-HT1B/1D receptors.
abstract: 5-HT-Moduline (Leu-Ser-Ala-Leu) is a new endogenous peptide purified from rat brain which interacts specifically with 5-HT1B/1D receptors. The binding interaction of 5-HT-Moduline with 5-HT1B/1D receptors appeared to be a non-competitive process, since the Bmax value of [125I] cyanopindolol binding on rat brain cortical membranes was decreased without modification of the Kd. This interaction was conserved on NIH 3T3 cells expressing the 5-HT1B receptor (IC50 = 10(-11)M) suggesting that the binding site for 5-HT-Moduline is localized on the 5-HT1B receptor protein. The observed interaction may lead to functional alterations of 5-HT1B/1D receptors known to play an important role in regulating the release of 5-HT from serotonergic nerve terminals (autoreceptors) as well as the release of other neurotransmitters (heteroreceptors).
