Abstract:
In review one can find summarized data about neurotensin structure, properties and physiological activity, presented in publications of last 30 years, from the time when this peptide has been discovered. The article contains data about neurotensin blood plasma level and its distribution in various organs and tissues in humans and different animal species. Main manifestations of neurotensin physiological activity are discussed as its participation in regulation of cardiovascular, digestive and endocrine systems and also in regulation of immunity and cell growth. From clinical point of view, obvious interest represents neurotensin ability to produce neuroleptical and antipsychotie effects after injecting into the brain ventricles.

Enzyme-linked Receptors
Neurotrophin (NT) receptors are a family of RTKs, including trkA, trkB, and trkC (tropomyosin-related kinase) receptors. TrkA is specific for nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-6, and neurotrophin-7. TrkB binds...
