NPFFR2 neuropeptide FF receptor 2

Gene ID: 10886, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GPR74; NPFF2; NPGPR; HLWAR77

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]
