Activity

  • Function:  Probable FMRFamide-like neuropeptides (PubMed:28094002, PubMed:16377032). Binds to neuronal receptors such as dmsr-1 to promote sleep in response to cellular stress also known as stress-induced sleep (SIS) (PubMed:28094002). Plays a role in behaviors associated with SIS, acting in concert with the FMRFamide related peptide, flp-24 and neuropeptide-like protein nlp-8 (PubMed:27546573).
