An endogenous ligand for the central sulfonylurea receptor

FEBS Lett. 1988 Dec 19;242(1):65-9. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(88)80986-4.

Abstract

An endogenous ligand for the rat central sulfonylurea receptor has been evidenced in the rat central nervous system. The characteristics of this ligand (extractibility, non-dialysability, chromatographic behaviour on different media, sensitivity to proteases) indicate that it is a neutral to slightly basic peptide.
