Pth2 - parathyroid hormone 2 Gene

Also Known as Tip39; Tifp39

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 114640

Summary

This gene encodes the precursor of a peptide hormone that shares sequence similarity with the parathyroid hormone. This gene is expressed in various regions of the brain where it plays a role in the release of pituitary Hormones, anxiety and nociception. The encoded precursor protein is proteolytically processed to generate the biologically active neuropeptide. Mice lacking the encoded protein display increased fear and anxiety after exposure to stressful events, and decreased sensitivity to pain. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]
