CELE_T24D8.4, T24D8.4

nlp-23 encodes three predicted neuropeptide-like proteins; in C. elegans, nlp-23 is part of the FRPamide neuropeptide family that also contains nlp-2 and nlp-22; nlp-23 is expressed in the tail and in dorsal and ventral hypodermis; as loss of nlp-23 activity via large-scale RNAi screens does not result in any obvious abnormalities, the precise role of the nlp-23-encoded peptides in development and/or behavior is not yet known.
