Abstract
This invention concerns nucleic acid encoding for rat agouti related protein. Agouti related protein is a neuropeptide that may play a role in the central regulation of feeding behavior and energy metabolism via interactions with the melanocortin pathways. This invention also relates to assays utilizing the novel nucleic acid of this invention.
