Predicted to enable endothelin B receptor binding activity and hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including axon extension; positive regulation of prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase activity; and prostaglandin biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including energy homeostasis; lung alveolus development; and positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and skeleton.
