Summary: Predicted to enable hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of feeding behavior; positive regulation of pancreatic A cell differentiation; and type B pancreatic cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including blood plasma; dermal bone; digestive system; endocrine cell; and endoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in diabetic retinopathy; glucose metabolism disease (multiple); insulinoma; and pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human INS (insulin).

What's a GeneRIF?

sing glucose as a disease-relevant readout, we screened 2233 molecules and identified three that consistently reduced glucose levels in insulin mutants. Most significantly, we uncovered an insulin-independent beneficial role for androgen receptor antagonism in hyperglycemia, mostly by reducing fasting glucose levels.

These findings suggest that GHRL regulates INS synthesis by mediating its action on growth hormone secretagogue-receptor in the central nervous system and partly involved in carbohydrate-glycogen metabolism.
Title: Ghrelin affects carbohydrate-glycogen metabolism via insulin inhibition and glucagon stimulation in the zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain.
Our results indicate that in adult tilapia insulin expression is not restricted to the endocrine pancreatic cells, but also occurs in endocrine cells of the pituitary gland and in the neuronal cells of the brain.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
