Description
Predicted to have growth hormone-releasing hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including chordate embryonic development; regulation of response to food; and response to food. Predicted to localize to extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic neuropathy; morbid obesity; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Is expressed in several structures, including diencephalon; digestive system; ghrelin secreting cell; heart; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human GHRL (ghrelin and obestatin prepropeptide).
