NPBWR2, Official Symbol NPBWR2provided by HGNC Official Full Name neuropeptides B and W receptor 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:4530 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000125522 MIM:600731; AllianceGenome:HGNC:4530 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as GPR8 Summary The 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, Jul 2008] Orthologs mouse all
