About CARTPT

Cytogenetic location: 5q13.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:71,719,275-71,721,045 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 270 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in adrenal (RPKM 51.3), brain (RPKM 5.7) and 1 other tissue.

Summary

This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple biologically active Peptides. These Peptides play a role in appetite, energy balance, maintenance of body weight, reward and addiction, and the stress response. Expression of a similar gene transcript in rodents is upregulated following administration of cocaine and amphetamine. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to obesity in humans.
