| Research Abstract |
Recently, many neuropeptides involved in food intake have been identified in mammals and extensive studies have been performed to reveal their physiological functions. However, there are little studies on these neuropeptides in non-mammals. In this study, firstly we sought the novel RFamide peptide, 26RFa, in the avian species, as the aspect of energy homeostasis. In addition, we further investigated a novel precursor gene encoding neuropeptide which we have originally identified in the avian brain.
