NPFFR2 - neuropeptide FF receptor 2 Gene
Also Known as GPR74; NPFF2; NPGPR; HLWAR77
Species: Homo sapiens
About NPFFR2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 254 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 1.4), thyroid (RPKM 0.2) and 7 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of G-protein-coupled neuropeptide receptors. This protein is activated by the neuropeptides A-18-amide (NPAF) and F-8-amide (NPFF) and may function in pain modulation and regulation of the opioid system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
