Neurotensin/Neuromedin N

Preferred Label : Neurotensin/Neuromedin N;

NCIt synonyms : Pro-NTS; Pro-Neurotensin/Neuromedin; Neurotensin/Neuromedin; Pro-Neurotensin; Pro-NT/N; Pro-NT;

NCIt definition : Neurotensin/neuromedin N (170 aa, 20 kDa) is encoded by the human NTS gene. This protein may play a role in both the digestion of fat in the gut and anti-bacterial/fungal activity.;

NCIt note : Neurotensin/neuromedin N is cleaved into at least 4 active peptides: large neuromedin N (NmN-125), neurotensin, neuromedin N and tail peptide. (UniProt);
