About Agrp

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that regulates feeding behavior and plays a key role in the control of body weight. The encoded protein acts as an antagonist of Melanocortin Receptor signaling. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
