[Neuropeptide Q(53-70)] is a peptide (FISDQSRRKDLSDRPLPE) encoded by the proNPQ gene (SPX gene), which also encodes Spexin hormone. Toll et al (2012) have reported that intracerebroventricular administration of NPQ(53-70) decreases the heart rate with no change in mean arterial pressure, and marked increases in urine flow rate. Intraventricular NPQ(53-70) also produces antinociceptive activity in the warm water tail withdrawal assay in mice.
