Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a neuropeptide found in human and mammalian brain, mainly produced by neurons in the amygdala and between Barrington's nucleus and the locus coeruleus, although NPS-responsive neurons extend projections into many other brain areas.[3][4][5] NPS binds specifically to a G protein-coupled receptor, NPSR.[6][7] Animal studies show that NPS suppresses anxiety and appetite, induces wakefulness and hyperactivity, including hyper-sexuality, and plays a significant role in the extinction of conditioned fear.[8][9][10][11][12][13][14] It has also been shown to significantly enhance dopamine activity in the mesolimbic pathway.[14]

Synthetic ligands[edit]

The non-peptide NPS receptor antagonist SHA-68 blocks the effects of NPS in animals and is anxiogenic.[15] Several peptide derived NPS agonists and antagonists have also been developed.[16][17][18][19][20]
