Activity

  • Function:  Ligand for the neuropeptide SIFamide receptor (PubMed:16378592). Modulates sexual behavior by negatively regulating female receptivity to male courtship and by playing a role in male sex discrimination (PubMed:17126293, PubMed:26469541). Also involved in promoting sleep (PubMed:24658384).
