| Function | Binding to its receptor activates G proteins and stimulates adenylate cyclase in pituitary cells. Promotes neuron projection development through the RAPGEF2/Rap1/B-Raf/ERK pathway. In chromaffin cells; induces long-lasting increase of intracellular calcium concentrations and neuroendocrine secretion. Involved in the control of glucose homeostasis; induces insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells. |
