Nms

This gene encodes a member of the neuromedin family of neuropeptides. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate a biologically active neuropeptide that plays a role in the regulation of circadian rhythm, anorexigenic action, antidiuretic action, cardiovascular function and stimulation of oxytocin and vasopressin release. Mice lacking the encoded neuropeptide exhibit decreased heart rate without any accompanying changes in blood pressure. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar processing to generate the mature peptide. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 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 Nms often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
