Qrfp - pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide Gene

Also Known as P518

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 227717

Summary

This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. The encoded products are members of the RFamide family of neuropeptides, characterized by their common protein C-terminus consisting of an arginine (R) and an amidated phenylalanine (F). These products include the neuropeptides QRFP-26 (26RFa) and the N-terminally extended form, QRFP-43 (43RFa). Both of these neuropeptides bind to the pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide receptor (QRFPR) and may regulate blood pressure, reproduction and food intake. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]
