Scientists at the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB) have discovered that curcumin, an active ingredient in turmeric, blocks the activity of
neurotensin, a gastrointestinal hormone implicated in the development of colorectal cancer.
These unnatural amino acids can be used to replace their natural counterparts in some hormones (eg
Neurotensin) to increase their half-life inside a biological system.
(Rahway, NJ) has patented a new family of receptors, growth hormone secretagogue-related receptors, which exhibit moderate sequence identity to both the growth hormone secretagogue receptor (GHS-R) and the
neurotensin receptor (NT-R).
The cerebral ganglion of ascidians has been shown to have many neurons immunoreactive for vertebrate neuropeptides such as GnRH, bombesin, and

neurotensin in rodents.
In a second report, graduate student Yigong Xing and her colleagues describe several experiments in which they tracked RNA made by two genes, one carrying the code for a nerve-cell chemical called
neurotensin and the other coding for a structural component of cells called fibronectin.

The role of
neurotensin (NT), a peptide widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, which can enhance the ability of CRH to increase skin vascular permeability, has also been studied in patients with psoriasis.
