Emerging functions for neuropeptide Y5 receptors
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 1999The Y5 subtype of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors has raised considerable interest as a mediator of NPY-stimulated food intake, but with the advent of recent data, this hypothesis has come into question. Moreover, Y5 receptor-selective drugs might not be specific for food intake because additional functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems,

Strategies in neuropeptide receptor binding research
Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 1985Strategies and general approaches used in neuropeptide receptor binding assays are described. Special attention is given to the nature of the ligand, its physical and chemical stability and the demonstration of an appropriate ligand selectivity pattern. Examples are given to illustrate critical aspects of neuropeptide receptor binding assays.

Immunocytochemistry of Neuropeptides and Their Receptors
1977Peripheral cells talk to each other via hormones. The message, although diffused into the bloodstream, is picked up selectively by those groups of cells that possess specific receptors for it. Neurons also talk to each other via hormones. By virtue of the axonal networks, they are able to direct a message to receptors on specific synapses with ...

Molecular Biology of Receptors for Neuropeptide Hormones
1991The theoretical concept of cell membrane-associated molecules which act as specific “receptors” for ligands such as peptide hormones, neurotransmitters, and various growth factors is long established. However, it is only in the last 8–10 years that convincing evidence has emerged for the functional role of these receptor proteins in the transduction of

Intracellular Trafficking of Neuropeptide Y Receptors
2015The multireceptor multiligand system of neuropeptide Y receptors and their ligands is involved in the regulation of a multitude of physiological and pathophysiological processes. Specific expression patterns, ligand-binding modes, and signaling properties contribute to the complex network regulating distinct cellular responses.

Neuropeptide families and their receptors: evolutionary perspectives
Brain Research, 1999Examination of families of neuropeptides and their receptors can provide information about phyletic relationships and evolutionary processes. Within an individual a given signal molecule may serve many diverse functions, mediated via subtypes of the receptor which may be coupled to their transduction mechanisms in different ways.
