Regulation of Feeding and Metabolism by Neuropeptide F and Short Neuropeptide F in Invertebrates
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Numerous neuropeptide systems have been implicated to coordinately control energy homeostasis, both centrally and peripherally. However, the vertebrate neuropeptide Y (NPY) system has emerged as the best described one regarding this biological process ...

Neuropeptide Y receptors (version 2019.4) in the IUPHAR/BPS Guide to Pharmacology Database [PDF]
, 2019 Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Neuropeptide Y Receptors [156]) are activated by the endogenous peptides neuropeptide Y, neuropeptide Y-(3-36), peptide YY, PYY-(3-36) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP).

Scientific Reports, 2021 Neuropeptides function through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with high specificity, implying a significant degree of neuropeptide-GPCR coevolution. However, potential neuropeptide signaling systems in non-chordates are relatively elusive.

Identification of a Novel Hypothalamic Neuropeptide Y Receptor Associated with Feeding Behavior*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 Neuropeptide Y (NPY) plays important roles in the central control of appetite and energy balance, but the receptor subtype responsible for this function has not been cloned.

The evolution and variety of RFamide-type neuropeptides: insights from deuterostomian invertebrates [PDF]
, 2014 Five families of neuropeptides that have a C-terminal RFamide motif have been identified in vertebrates: (1) gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH), (2) neuropeptide FF (NPFF), (3) pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide (QRFP), (4) prolactin-releasing peptide (

Neuropeptide receptors as potential antiepileptic drug targets : focus on the ghrelin axis [PDF]
, 2014 Epilepsy is a very serious neurological disorder which is often underrepresented. Around 50 million individuals worldwide have active epilepsy with recurrent seizures and in spite of the medical advances over the years, 30% of these patients remain as ...

BMC Genomics, 2018 Background Ecdysis is an innate behaviour programme by which all arthropods moult their exoskeletons. The complex suite of interacting neuropeptides that orchestrate ecdysis is well studied in insects, but details of the crustacean ecdysis cassette are ...

Neuropeptide Y in the medial habenula alleviates migraine-like behaviors through the Y1 receptor
The Journal of Headache and Pain, 2023 Background Migraine is a highly disabling health burden with multiple symptoms; however, it remains undertreated because of an inadequate understanding of its neural mechanisms.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Epileptic seizures result in pronounced over-expression of neuropeptide Y (NPY). In vivo and in vitro studies revealed that NPY exerts potent anticonvulsive actions through presynaptic Y2 receptors by suppressing glutamate release from principal neurons.

Journal of Neuroscience, 1993 Some evidence has suggested the existence and differential distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor subtypes in the mammalian brain (Dumont et al., 1990; Aicher et al., 1991).
