| Primary Identifier | MGI:2685781 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 381073 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and feeding behavior. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Orthologous to human NPW (neuropeptide W). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knock-out mice exhibit abnormal response to formalin-induced pain stimuli or a live rat only when placed in a novel environment, failing to show the normal self-protective and aversive reactions.
