    Summary
    This gene encodes neuropeptides involved in analgesia, cardiovascular regulation, neuroendocrine function and opiate addiction. The encoded protein is a preproprotein that undergoes further processing to generate multiple amidated peptides. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
