Description

This peptide belongs to a family of RFamide peptides termed RFamide-related peptides (RFRPs), reported to be present in the mammalian brain. The preproprotein of rat RFRPs contains two putative peptides RFRP-1 and RFRP-2 and it could be demonstrated by K.Ukena et al., that this octadecapeptide represents the mature form of RFPR-2 in the rat hypothalamus.
