What's a GeneRIF?

Studies support a role for estradiol (E2) in the regulation of prepro-QRFP mRNA in the ventral medial nucleus of the hypothalamus/arcuate nucleus and suggest that E2's effects on food intake may be via a direct effect on the orexigenic peptide, QRFP.
Title: The effects of high fat diet and estradiol on hypothalamic prepro-QRFP mRNA expression in female rats.
The present review discusses the role of QRFP in the regulation of feeding behavior, with emphasis on the intake of dietary fat.

QRFP 43 might play a role downstream of leptin in the regulation of feeding behavior.

QRFP may play a role in coordinating feeding behaviors with reproductive function in rats when energy demand is increased.

Data suggest that the GPR103-26RFa system modulates nociceptive transmission in both the spinal cord and the supraspinal brain in the formalin (paw) test.
Title: Intracerebroventricular administration of 26RFa produces an analgesic effect in the rat formalin test.
QRFP mRNA was highly expressed in the hypothalamus; QRFP receptor mRNA was highly expressed in the adrenal gland. Data suggests that QRFP and its receptor have a regulatory function in the rat adrenal gland.

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.
