Protein attributes

Sequence length	131 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Plays a role in weight homeostasis. May play a role in the regulation of melanocortin receptors within the hypothalamus and adrenal gland, and therefore in the central control of feeding.
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in arcuate nucleus and median eminence, adrenal gland (medulla), hypothalamus, testis, and lung.
Induction	Hypothalamic expression is elevated circa 10-fold in ob/ob and db/db mice.
Domain	The presence of a 'disulfide through disulfide knot' structurally defines this protein as a knottin By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 agouti domain.
