CARTPT - CART prepropeptide Gene
Also Known as CART
Species: Homo sapiens
About CARTPT
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 270 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 51.3), brain (RPKM 5.7) and 1 other tissue.
Summary
This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple biologically active peptides. These peptides play a role in appetite, energy balance, maintenance of body weight, reward and addiction, and the stress response. Expression of a similar gene transcript in rodents is upregulated following administration of cocaine and amphetamine. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to obesity in humans.
