Abstract
We report a method to identify neuropeptides in specific cell types, using mice with a conditional deletion of carboxypeptidase E. It was validated by deleting CPE in proopiomelanocortin cells. Surprisingly, these mice have greatly reduced levels of the anorexigenic peptide α-MSH but are not obese.
