Pro-FMRFamide-related neuropeptide VF [Cleaved into: Neuropeptide NPSF; Neuropeptide RFRP-1; Neuropeptide RFRP-2; Neuropeptide NPVF

Definition:

Neuropeptide RFRP-1 acts as a potent negative regulator of gonadotropin synthesis and secretion. Neuropeptides NPSF and NPVF efficiently inhibit forskolin-induced production of cAMP, but RFRP-2 shows no inhibitory activity. Neuropeptide RFRP-1 induces secretion of prolactin in rats. Neuropeptide NPVF blocks morphine-induced analgesia.
