uniprot
proteins
function
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. When injected into the lateral cerebroventricle, it elevates prolactin (PRL) and corticosterone and lowers growth hormone (GH) release. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12810535}.
