basic FUNCTION
| precursor of the natural agonist of opioid receptor-like receptor (OPRL1) |
|
may act as a transmitter in the brain by modulating nociceptive and locomotor behavior |
|
role in the control of GNRH1 secretion, raising the possibility that it acts as part of an ultrashort, autocrine feedback loop controlling GNRH1 pulses |
|
may be involved in neuronal differentiation and development |
|
may be involved in the autoregulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells |
|
endogenous opioid-like heptadecapeptide involved in many neurocognitive functions, including learning and memory |
|
play a modulatory role throughout the body including nociceptive sensitivity, motor function, spatial learning, and the immune system |
|
in addition to pain transmission, is involved in other central nervous functions such as learning and memory |
|
is involved in several central nervous functions including pain transmission |
|
is potentially a novel paracrine mediator of the FSH effects in the regulation of spermatogenesis |
