CELE_Y23B4A.2

Y23B4A.2 encodes a neuropeptide precursor that can produce a pyrokinin (PK)-like peptide and two periviscerokinin (PVK)-like peptides; a synthetic peptide corresponding to the AFFYTPRI-NH2 sequence of Y23B4A.2 is able to bind and activate the G protein-coupled receptor encoded by K10B4.4 when the latter is expressed in HEK293T cells; antibodies that recognize the protein products of Y23B4A.2 stain two pairs of anterior neurons.
