hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide (HCNP)

Function

• role in function of the presynaptic cholinergic neurons of the central nervous system
• increases production of choline acetyltransferase but not acetylcholinesterase
• mediated by a specific receptor (putative)
• derived from phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1

More general terms

• peptide
• phosphoprotein
