Neuromedin U,a 23-amino acid brain-gut peptide, regulates several important physiological functions through its cognate receptor NMUR2 in the central nervous system, including energy balance, stress response, and nociception.

It is an organic compounds with molecular fomula C10H14O4.

[Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) is a mutant peptide fragment of myelin proteolipid protein (PLP), with the tryptophan and histidine at positions 144 and 147 respectively replaced by leucine and arginine. [Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) also serves as a T cell receptor (TCR) antagonist for encephalitogenic Th1 clones, blocking their activation in vitro. Furthermore, [Leu144,Arg147]-PLP (139-151) can inhibit the development of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).
