RFamide peptide family

The RFamide peptide family, or the RFamide-related peptides (RFRPs), are a family of neuropeptides.^[1][2] They are characterized by the possession of an Arg-Phe-NH₂ motif at their C-terminal extremities.^[1][2]

Members of the family include:^[1][2]

• Neuropeptide FF group
  • Neuropeptide AF
  • Neuropeptide FF
  • Neuropeptide SF (RFRP-1)
  • Neuropeptide VF (RFRP-3) (GnIH - avian species)
• Prolactin-releasing peptide (PrRP)
• Pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP)
• Kisspeptin (disputed)^[3]
