- Description
- Predicted to enable neuropeptide hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on swimming behavior. Acts upstream of or within monoatomic ion homeostasis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space and secretory granule. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; female organism; male organism; nervous system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetes insipidus; neurohypophyseal diabetes insipidus; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including OXT (oxytocin/neurophysin I prepropeptide).
