Data Sheet

Background: Neuropeptide B/neuropeptide W receptor 1 (NPBW1 or GPR7) is a receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals. Targeted disruption of NPBW1 in mice has confirmed that this receptor plays a role in maintaining long-term energy homeostasis. NPBW1 lacking male mice show moderately severe, late-onset obesity that is a result of both hyperphagia and decreased energy expenditure with reduced locomotor activity.

Application: Functional assays
