Also known as: PRH; PRRP
Summary: Predicted to enable neuropeptide hormone activity and prolactin-releasing peptide receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; feeding behavior; and response to peptide hormone. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including energy reserve metabolic process; reduction of food intake in response to dietary excess; and response to insulin. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
