Summary: Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within behavioral response to starvation and regulation of appetite. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including Harderian gland; alimentary system; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver and biliary system.

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.
