Also known as: Prh; prrp
Summary: Enables neuropeptide hormone activity and prolactin-releasing peptide receptor binding activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and feeding behavior. Acts upstream of or within reduction of food intake in response to dietary excess. Located in cytoplasm. Used to study obesity. Orthologous to human PRLH (prolactin releasing hormone).

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.
