A single-nucleotide polymorphism of human neuropeptide s gene originated from Europe shows decreased bioactivity.
Using accumulating SNP (Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism) data, we performed a genome-wide search for polypeptide hormone ligands showing changes in the mature regions to elucidate genotype/phenotype diversity among various human populations. Neuropeptide S (NPS), a brain peptide hormone highly conser...
