头足类神经肽研究进展

神经肽是一类由神经内分泌组织分泌的小分子多肽。近年来随着头足类的经济价值越来越受到人们的重视,其神经肽的研究也日趋深入。通过高效液相色谱分离纯化、质谱鉴定、免疫组化定位和分子克隆等技术方法发现神经肽对头足类的生殖调控等具有重要意义。本文就目前已发现的7类头足类神经肽的种类、分布、结构与功能进行了综述,同时,展示了目前头足类神经肽研究存在的问题,并对头足类神经肽的发展趋势和应用前景进行了展望。

Research Progress of Neuropeptides in Cephalopods

Neuropeptides are small protein-like molecules excreted by neuroendocrine tissues. In the recent years, the economic value of cephalopods is more and more recommended by the public, and the same with the research of cephalopods neuropeptides. Using techniques of HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) to isolate and purify, MS (mass spectra) to identify, and immunocytochemistry to target, neropeptides are found to play an important role in the reproductive regulation. These neuropeptide studies will support the cephalopods artificial breeding with theory. This review updates the research findings about seven groups of cephalopods neuropeptides with classification, location, structure, function and issue in research, as well as their development trend and application prospect.
