Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 347148
Gene name Pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide
Gene symbol QRFP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
26RFaP518
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9q34.12
Summary This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. The encoded products are members of the RFamide family of neuropeptides, characterized by their common protein C-terminus consisting of an arginine
