Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 181
Gene name Agouti related neuropeptide
Gene symbol AGRP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AGRTARTASIP2
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q22.1
Summary This gene encodes an antagonist of the melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptor. It appears to regulate hypothalamic control of feeding behavior via melanocortin receptor and/or intracellular calcium regulation, and thus plays a role in weight homeostas
