Protein Information
Name	NPW
Synonyms	PPL8, PPNPW
Function	Plays a regulatory role in the organization of neuroendocrine signals accessing the anterior pituitary gland. Stimulates water drinking and food intake. May play a role in the hypothalamic response to stress (By similarity). NPW23 activates GPR7 and GPR8 more efficiently than NPW30.
Cellular Location	Secreted
Tissue Location	Detected in cerebrospinal fluid and urine (at protein level) (PubMed:25326458, PubMed:36213313, PubMed:37453717) Detected at high levels in the substantia nigra, fetal kidney and trachea; at lower levels in testis, uterus, ovary and placenta. Not detectable in many regions of the central nervous system. Also detected at high levels in lymphoblastic leukemia and colorectal adenocarcinoma
