Neuropeptide FF (FLFQPQRF-NH2) and its Fragments Bind to α2δ Subunit of Voltage-Gated Calcium Channels
Purpose: Gabapentin, a drug for neuropathic pain, exerts its therapeutic effect via inhibition of the a2d subunit of N-type Ca2+ channels. Thus, finding peptides that specifically displace gabapentin from its binding site may lead to the development of new drugs. Methods: Displacement of bound [3H]-...
