Summary: This gene encodes a protein that regulates feeding behavior and plays a key role in the control of body weight. The encoded protein acts as an antagonist of melanocortin receptor signaling. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]

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.
