Agouti-related peptide, also known as AGRP, is a neuropeptide that is mainly produced in the hypothalamus region of the brain. It is responsible for regulating food intake, body weight, and energy homeostasis. AGRP is also known as agouti-related protein, agouti peptide-like protein, and agouti-related transcript. Other synonyms for AGRP include AGRP1, AGRT, ASIP2, and AGRP95. These synonyms refer to the different forms of the peptide that exist in mammals. AGRP is a vital component of the central nervous system, and understanding its functions and synonyms can help researchers explore new treatments for obesity and eating disorders.
