A novel type of C-terminally modified analogs of the 36-mer peptide hormone neuropeptide
Y has been synthesized, characterized and tested with respect to receptor affinity and …

We have shown previously that peptide YY (PYY) receptors are uniquely distributed in
various mammalian brains and also have identified the receptor from porcine hippocampal …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) has been the focus of much attention since its discovery as the most
abundant peptide in mammalian brain. It has been implicated in many roles in both the …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY) are two related 36-amino-acid peptides found
in all vertebrates and are involved in many physiological processes. Five receptor subtypes …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses extraordinary structural diversity of neuropeptide
Y (NPY)-family receptors. The molecular cloning of receptors, which bind to neuropeptide Y …

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the essential elements of neuropeptide Y (NPY)
pharmacology, receptor distribution, and molecular biology as well as the recent …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors consist of three subtypes, designated NPY 1, NPY 2, and
NPY 3. The Y 1 receptor has been cloned. The present study reports the purification of the …

The isolation and characterization of Neuropeptide Y (NPY) in the early 1980's has
stimulated a number of studies into the molecular biology, biochemistry and physiology of …

The Y5 receptor has been postulated to be the main receptor mediating NPY-induced food
intake in rats, based on its pharmacological profile and mRNA distribution. To further …
