The genes encoding prokineticin 2 polypeptide (Prok2) and its cognate receptor (Prokr2/Gpcr73l1) are widely expressed in both the suprachiasmatic nucleus and its hypothalamic targets, and this signaling pathway has been implicated in the circadian re...

Role of VGF-derived peptides in the control of food intake, body weight and reproduction (2008)
Journal Article
Jethwa, P. H., & Ebling, F. J. P. (2008). Role of VGF-derived peptides in the control of food intake, body weight and reproduction. Neuroendocrinology, 88(2), 80-87. https://doi.org/10.1159/000127319

VGF is a 68-kDa polypeptide synthesized in neuronal and neuroendocrine cells. It is cleaved into a number of smaller peptides which are stored in dense core vesicles and are likely to be secreted products. The VGF gene is expressed abundantly in the...
