It is widely acknowledged that Phoenixin (PNX) and its receptor of GPR 173 is newly identified and primarily known that PNX only acts on the reproductive system by enhancive effect on GnRH. Later it comes to know PNX enrolled the various paths of physiological functions including inflammation, food intake, stress, memory and others. Being PNX is a novel neuropeptide and highly conserved it may be greatly accompanied by different functions. Based on the proteolytic cleavage, the PNX isoforms are total of six but the biologically active forms are PNX-14 and PNX-20 and its research is limited to a few species including mouse, rat, canine, bovine, porcine and human. In addition, the basic mechanism of PNX is not clear in many functions. This review briefly concludes that need to do more research on the role of PNX on the Reproduction, Inflammation, Food intake, Stress, Memory, and other physiological functions of animals.
