Background: Neuropeptides B/W receptor 1, also known as NPBW1 and GPR7, is a human protein encoded by the NPBWR1 gene. In rodent models, NPBWR1 is over-expressed in Schwann cells associated with neuropathic pain, suggesting it inhibits inflammatory pain responses. Mice without NPBW1 exhibited a stronger hostile reaction to intruders, suggesting NPBW1 has a role in stress responses. Early studies indicated that NPB and NPW had a complex effect on appetite, but generally led to anorexia. Similarly, male rats lacking NPBWR1 exhibited hyperphagiaand adult-onset obesity, though why female rats are unaffected is unknown. Researchers speculated that activating these pathways might decrease obesity, and synthesized a small-molecule ligand that is capable of stimulating both receptors at low concentrations.
