Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of gonadotropin secretion; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and sensory perception of pain. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in brain; cerebral cortex; dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus; hypothalamus; and hypothalamus mantle layer. Orthologous to human NPVF (neuropeptide VF precursor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
