Based on structural and evolutionary criteria, neuropeptide Y (NPY) b, peptide YY (PYY) and
pancreatic polypetide (PP) are closely related polypeptides (Larhammar, 1996a). They are …

The Y-receptors belong to the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily and mediate a wide
variety of physiological effects, such as regulation of blood pressure, anxiety, memory …

SIGNAL transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) are activated by tyrosine
phosphorylation in response to cytokines and mediate many of their functional responses1 …

Abstract NEUROPEPTIDE Y (NPY) is a powerful stimulant of food intake and is proposed to
activate a hypothalamic'feeding'receptor distinct from previously cloned Y-type receptors1 …

The neuropeptide Y family of peptides consists of neuropeptide Y (NPY), which is expressed
in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic …

The pancreatic polypeptide family includes pancreatic polypeptide (PP), neuropeptide Y
(NPY), and peptide YY (PYY). Members of the PP family regulate numerous physiological …

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY), and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) are structurally
related peptides found in all higher vertebrates. NPY is expressed exclusively in neurons …

The NPY (neuropeptide Y) family of neuroendocrine peptides consists of NPY, PYY (peptide
YY) and PP (pancreatic polypeptide). Several receptors have been characterized …

The three peptides pancreatic polypeptide (PP), peptide YY (PYY), and neuropeptide Y
(NPY) share a similar structure known as the PP-fold. There are four known human G …

The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system consists in mammals of three peptides and 4–5 G-protein-
coupled receptors called Y receptors that are involved in a variety of physiological functions …
