Abstract
⺠The paraventricular and supraoptic nuclei of the hypothalamus are regulators of homeostasis. ⺠Over one hundred G protein-coupled receptors are expressed in each of these nuclei. ⺠The receptors have many functions including modulating neuropeptide synthesis and release. ⺠20-30% of the receptors are 'orphans' whose endogenous ligand and function is unknown.
