| Description | Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript protein [Cleaved into- CART(1-39); CART(42-89)] |
| Organism | Homo sapiens |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Opisthokonta; Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Deuterostomia; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Gnathostomata (jawed vertebrates); Teleostomi; Euteleostomi; Sarcopterygii; Dipnotetrapodomorpha; Tetrapoda; Amniota; Mammalia; Theria; Eutheria; Boreoeutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Simiiformes; Catarrhini; Hominoidea (apes); Hominidae (great apes); Homininae; Homo; Homo sapiens (Human) |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the CART family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Hypothalamus. Found in neurons of the ventrolateral part of the arcuate nucleus; in the external zone of the median eminence; and also found in terminals in the periventricular part of the paraventric |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | Satiety factor closely associated with the actions of leptin and neuropeptide Y; this anorectic peptide inhibits both normal and starvation-induced feeding and completely blocks the feeding response induced by neuropeptide Y and regulated by leptin in the hypothalamus. It promotes neuronal development and survival in vitro. |
