The ‘Chicken and Egg’ Problem of Co-evolution of Peptides and Their Cognate Receptors: Which Came First? (1999)
Book Chapter
Darlison, M. G., & Richter, D. (1999). The ‘Chicken and Egg’ Problem of Co-evolution of Peptides and Their Cognate Receptors: Which Came First?. In D. Richter (Ed.), Regulatory Peptides and Cognate Receptors (1-11). Berlin: Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-49421-8_1

As will be evident from the other chapters in this Volume, small peptide molecules regulate a wide variety of biological processes in both vertebrate and invertebrate species. For each bioactive peptide there exists one or more specific membrane-boun...

Genetic linkage and radiation hybrid mapping of the three human GABAC receptor ρ subunit genes: GABRR1, GABRR2 and GABRR3 (1999)
Journal Article
Bailey, M. E., Albrecht, B. E., Johnson, K. J., & Darlison, M. G. (1999). Genetic linkage and radiation hybrid mapping of the three human GABAC receptor ρ subunit genes: GABRR1, GABRR2 and GABRR3. BBA - Gene Structure and Expression, 1447(2-3), 307-312.

{GABAC} receptors mediate rapid inhibitory neurotransmission in retina. We have mapped, in detail, the human genes which encode the three polypeptides that comprise this receptor: ρ1 (GABRR1), ρ2 (GABRR2) and ρ3 (GABRR3). We show that {GABRR1} and {G...

Multiple genes for neuropeptides and their receptors: co-evolution and physiology (1999)
Journal Article
Darlison, M. G., & Richter, D. (1999). Multiple genes for neuropeptides and their receptors: co-evolution and physiology. Trends in Neurosciences, 22(2), 81-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0166-2236%2898%2901333-2

It is now well established that neuropeptide receptors, which are present throughout the {CNS} and in peripheral tissues, frequently exist in a variety of different forms (called subtypes), each of which is encoded by a distinct gene. With the recent... Read More about Multiple genes for neuropeptides and their receptors: co-evolution and physiology.
