What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

May have a role in gut contractility or in thymic development and regulation. Activates RXFP4 with high potency and appears to be the endogenous ligand for this receptor

Subunit structure

Heterodimer of a B chain and an A chain linked by two disulfide bonds

Subcellular location

Secreted
