nlp-12 encodes two predicted neuropeptide-like proteins; nlp-12 is part of a LQFamide neuropeptide family that has members in at least one other nematode species; nlp-12 is expressed in one tail neuron.
Enables cholecystokinin receptor binding activity. Involved in foraging behavior and neuropeptide signaling pathway. Located in neuron projection and neuronal cell body. Expressed in DVA; PVDL; PVDR; coelomocyte; and tail neurons.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
