Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), neuropeptide-glutamic acid-isoleucine (NEI), and neuropeptide-glycine-glutamic acid (NGE

Protein name Pro-MCH [Cleaved into: Neuropeptide-glycine-glutamic acid (NGE) (Neuropeptide G-E); Neuropeptide-glutamic acid-isoleucine (NEI) (Neuropeptide E-I); Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH)]
Protein function MCH may act as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator in a broad array of neuronal functions directed toward the regulation of goal-directed behavior, such as food intake, and general arousal. May also have a role in spermatocyte differentiation.
