Neurotensin
Overview
Neurotensin is a 13-amino-acid neuropeptide widely distributed throughout the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. It regulates luteinizing hormone and prolactin release and has significant interactions with the dopaminergic system. Neurotensin produces diverse physiological effects including analgesia, hypothermia, and increased locomotor activity, and serves as a key modulator of dopamine signaling pathways.
