Regul Pept. 2000 May 10;89(1-3):1-6. doi: 10.1016/s0167-0115(00)00096-3.

Abstract

CART peptides are among the newest putative peptide neurotransmitter/cotransmitters. They show no significant homology to any other peptide, and they are thought to have a role in reward and reinforcement, feeding, development, sensory processing, stress and endocrine control.
