Background
This gene encodes a member of the neuropeptide B/W family of proteins and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. The encoded products include neuropeptide B-23 and a C-terminally extended form, neuropeptide B-29, which are characterized by an N-terminal brominated tryptophan amino acid. Both of the encoded peptides bind with higher affinity to neuropeptide B/W (NPB/W) receptor 1 compared to the related NPB/W receptor 2. These peptides may regulate feeding, pain perception, and stress in rodents. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015],
Function
function:May be involved in the regulation of feeding, neuroendocrine system, memory, learning and in the afferent pain pathway.,similarity:Belongs to the neuropeptide B/W family.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed in the central nervous system. High levels are found in substantia nigra, hypothalamus, hyppocampus, spinal cord, placenta and fetal brain; lower levels are found in testis, uterus and ovary. Also detected at high levels in colorectal adenocarcinoma.,
