Target Information

Agouti-related protein (AgRP), also called agouti-related peptide, is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by AgRP/NPY neurons. In humans, the agouti-related peptide is encoded by the AGRP gene, which acts as an antagonist of melanocortin-3 and melanocortin-4 receptors.
It regulates hypothalamic control of feeding behavior and plays a key role in energy balance and weight homeostasis.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with late-onset obesity.
