GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
NPFFR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GPR74, NPFF2, NPGPR
Description
Neuropeptide FF receptor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene 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]
