The IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY (GtoPdb, www.guidetopharmacology.org) and its precursor IUPHAR-DB, have captured expert-curated interactions between targets ligands from selected papers in pharmacology drug discovery since 2003. This resource continues be developed conjunction with the International Union of Basic Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) British Pharmacological Society (BPS). As previously described, our unique model content selection quality control is based on 96 target-class...
The IUPHAR/BPS Guide to PHARMACOLOGY (GtoPdb, http://www.guidetopharmacology.org) provides expert-curated molecular interactions between successful and potential drugs their targets in the human genome. Developed by International Union of Basic Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) British Pharmacological Society (BPS), this resource, its earlier incarnation as IUPHAR-DB, is described our 2014 publication. This update incorporates changes over intervening seven database releases. unique model...

We identified a gene in the ovine hypothalamus encoding for RFamide-related peptide-3 (RFRP-3), and tested hypothesis that this system produces hypophysiotropic hormone inhibits function of pituitary gonadotropes. The RFRP-3 encodes peptide appears identical to human homolog. Using an antiserum raised against RFRP-3, cells were localized dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus/paraventricular nucleus brain shown project neurosecretory zone median eminence, predicating role regulation anterior gland...
