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)
