Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable neuromedin B receptor binding activity and neuropeptide hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including antiviral innate immune response; positive regulation of osteoclast proliferation; and regulation of cytokine production. Located in extracellular space and neuron projection. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human NMB (neuromedin B).
