Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables pancreatic polypeptide receptor activity and peptide YY receptor activity. Involved in synaptic signaling via neuropeptide. Acts upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission. Located in membrane; neuron projection; and synapse. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and presynapse. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lipid metabolism disorder and obesity. Orthologous to human NPY5R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y5).
