RFamide peptide family

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

Members of the family include:

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)
