Peptide/Receptor Co-evolution Explains the Lipolytic Function of the Neuropeptide TLQP-21

Summary: Structural and functional diversity of peptides and GPCR result from long evolutionary processes. Even small changes in sequence can alter receptor activation, affecting therapeutic efficacy. We conducted a structure-function relationship study on the neuropeptide TLQP-21, a promising targe...
