It binds to the GRP receptor (GRPR, also called BB2), a member of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily []. It operates as a negative feedback regulating fear and established a causal relationship between GRP-receptor gene expression, long-term potentiation, and amygdala-dependent memory for fear []. |
