The neuropeptide FMRF-amide decreases both the Ca2+ conductance and a cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate-dependent K+ conductance in identified molluscan neurons. 1985

The molluscan neuropeptide FMRF-amide (10 to 50 microM) decreases the duration of the Ca2+-dependent action potential recorded in the cell body of identified neurons of the snail Helix aspersa (cells D3 and E2). In these neurons, FMRF-amide evokes a decrease of the Ca2+ current resulting from a decrease in Ca2+ conductance. In another single neuron, cell E11, FMRF-amide, besides evoking a decrease of the Ca2+ conductance, induces a decrease of the S-current (Klein, M., J. S. Camardo, and E. R. Kandel (1982) Proc. Natl. Acad Sci. U. S. A. 79: 5713-5717), a K+ current controlled by cyclic AMP. However, in this E11 cell, FMRF-amide also evokes a decrease of the amplitude of the Ca2+ spike plateau. As discussed in the preceding paper (Paupardin-Tritsch, D., L. Colombaioni, P. Deterre, and H. M. Gerschenfeld (1985) J. Neurosci. 5: 2522-2532), it is suggested that these FRMF-amide-induced modulations of ionic conductances involved in the Ca2+-dependent spike recorded in these neuronal somata may intervene in processes of presynaptic inhibition and facilitation.

D009842 Oligopeptides Peptides composed of between two and twelve amino acids. Oligopeptide
D011188 Potassium An element in the alkali group of metals with an atomic symbol K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.10. It is the chief cation in the intracellular fluid of muscle and other cells. Potassium ion is a strong electrolyte that plays a significant role in the regulation of fluid volume and maintenance of the WATER-ELECTROLYTE BALANCE.
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004298 Dopamine One of the catecholamine NEUROTRANSMITTERS in the brain. It is derived from TYROSINE and is the precursor to NOREPINEPHRINE and EPINEPHRINE. Dopamine is a major transmitter in the extrapyramidal system of the brain, and important in regulating movement. A family of receptors (RECEPTORS, DOPAMINE) mediate its action.
