Human Gene NPBWR2 (ENST00000369768.1_3) from GENCODE V47lift37
Description: Interacts specifically with a number of opioid ligands. Receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals. (from UniProt P48146) Gencode Transcript: ENST00000369768.1_3 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000125522.4_7 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr20:62,737,173-62,738,524 Size: 1,352 Total Exon Count: 1 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr20:62,737,183-62,738,184 Size: 1,002 Coding Exon Count: 1
ID:NPBW2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Neuropeptides B/W receptor type 2; AltName: Full=G-protein coupled receptor 8; FUNCTION: Interacts specifically with a number of opioid ligands. Receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected at high levels in caudate nucleus, hyppocampus and amygdala; at moderate levels in the adult brain, thalamus, parietal cortex, pituitary gland, adrenal gland and lymph nodes. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
