By contrast, slow neurotransmitters and neuromodulators act on metabotropic G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the postsynaptic membrane to trigger intracellular second messenger cascades. Neuropeptides are a superfamily of neuromodulators—more than 100 have been identified . However, studying neuropeptides is challenging owing to the limitations of available tools for their detection. Furthermore, despite decades of drug development aimed at neuropeptide-GPCRs, neither their localization nor the dynamics of ligand-induced activation is sufficiently understood.
