Summary: Enables neuropeptide receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and thermotaxis. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in excretory system; neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; and preanal ganglion. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human PRLHR (prolactin releasing hormone receptor).
