NPFF - neuropeptide FF-amide peptide precursor Gene
Also Known as FMRFAL
Species: Homo sapiens
About NPFF
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants) and 148 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 3.8), spleen (RPKM 2.1) and 24 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the FMRFamide related peptide (FARP) family of neuropeptides. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple amidated peptides. These peptides may play a role in the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure and the modulation of morphine-induced antinociception. Patients with hypertension exhibit decreased expression of the encoded protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
