UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q8SXL2 (Q8SXL2)
Gene Name:
CCHa2
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: Ligand for the CCHamide-2 receptor CCHa2-R (PubMed:21110953, PubMed:23293632). In one study, shown to be an orexigenic peptide which induces appetite and stimulates food intake, leading to the release of insulin-like peptides which stimulate growth (PubMed:26168160). In another study, shown to be a nutrient-sensitive peptide derived from peripheral tissues which controls growth by directly regulating the production and release of insulin-like peptides (PubMed:26020940)
