About QRFP

Cytogenetic location: 9q34.12 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:130,892,707-130,896,812 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants) and 93 orthologues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. The encoded products are members of the RFamide family of neuropeptides, characterized by their common protein C-terminus consisting of an arginine (R) and an amidated phenylalanine (F). These products include the neuropeptides 26RFa and the N-terminally extended form, 43RFa. Both of these neuropeptides bind to the pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide receptor (QRFPR) and may regulate blood pressure, reproduction and food intake in rodents. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
