As the observed results are in agreement with data regarding the CART mRNA and protein expression in the brain reward pathway in opioid addiction phases, it may be suggested that evaluation of CART peptide level in CSF or plasma could be a suitable marker which reflects the rises and falls of the peptide concentration in brain in the development of opioid addiction
Title: Evaluation of CART peptide level in rat plasma and CSF: Possible role as a biomarker in opioid addiction.
Results suggest that CART plays an important role in recognition memory and that these effects may be mediated by NMDA receptors-ERK signaling in the entorhinal/perirhinal -hippocampal circuit.
Title: Pro-cognitive action of CART is mediated via ERK in the hippocampus.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
