NPW

Protein·UNIPROT:Q8N729

Open in the graph

Plays a regulatory role in the organization of neuroendocrine signals accessing the anterior pituitary gland. Stimulates water drinking and food intake. May play a role in the hypothalamic response to stress (By similarity). NPW23 activates GPR7 and GPR8 more efficiently than NPW30..

Function from UniProtKB (Q8N729), read 2026-09-23. CC BY 4.0.
