About Spx

Summary

Predicted to enable neuropeptide hormone activity; type 2 Galanin receptor binding activity; and type 3 Galanin receptor binding activity. Involved in long-chain fatty acid import into cell and negative regulation of appetite. Predicted to be located in dense core granule. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in esophagus and stomach fundus submucosa. Orthologous to human SPX (spexin hormone). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
