Adcyap1

This gene encodes a member of the glucagon superfamily of hormones that have important roles in growth and metabolism. The encoded protein undergoes proteolytic processing to generate mature peptides that function as hypophysiotropic hormones, neurotransmitters, neuromodulators and vasoregulators. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit a high rate of early mortality. The surviving adult animals lacking the encoded protein exhibit decreased anxiety, hyperactive behavior and impaired steroidogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Adcyap1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
