About NPFFR2

Cytogenetic location: 4q13.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 4:72,032,000-72,148,305 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 254 orthologues and 16 paralogues. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 1.4), thyroid (RPKM 0.2) and 7 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a subfamily of G-protein-coupled neuropeptide receptors. This protein is activated by the neuropeptides A-18-amide (NPAF) and F-8-amide (NPFF) and may function in pain modulation and regulation of the opioid system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
