Neuropeptides serve as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, and neurohormones. They can act as both classical neurotransmitters, released from neurons into the synapse to directly activate specific receptors on post-synaptic neurons, and as neuromodulators, which affect the release of other neurotransmitters. They can also act as neurohormones, which are released into the bloodstream to affect distant cells and organs.
