Gene information for NPBWR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2832
Official gene symbolNPBWR2
Full nameneuropeptides B/W receptor 2
Aliases,GPR8,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to another G protein-coupled receptor (GPR7), and it is structurally similar to opioid and somatostatin receptors. This protein binds neuropeptides B and W. This gene is intronless and is expressed primarily in the frontal cortex of the brain. [provided by RefSeq]
