NPW Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Recombinant Ab Production This gene encodes an enzyme

This gene encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the first glycosylation step in the biosynthesis of glycosphingolipids

and knockout studies in mice

A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 5

Alternative splicing results in at least two different transcript variants

A second transcript variant has been described| but its full length nature has not been determined

NPW Polyclonal Antibody, 100ul Recombinant Ab Production This gene encodes an enzymeThe product of this gene is processed into 23 and 30 amino acid neuropeptides that bind and activate two G protein coupled receptors in the central nervous system. The neuropeptides have been shown to enhance cortisol secretion from adrenal cells through the adenylate cyclase protein kinase A signaling cascade. The preproprotein is translated using a non AUG initiation codon that is inferred from analyses of the mouse ortholog.
