Structural basis of neuropeptide Y signaling through Y1 receptor

Nature Communications, 2022
The human neuropeptide Y (NPY) acts through G-protein coupled receptors and is involved in food intake, stress response, anxiety, and memory retention.

Role of neurotrophins and neuropeptides in Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) : a model for human generalized absence seizures [PDF]

, 2010
Several studies have shown that neurotrophins and neuropeptides contribute to epileptogenesis but their impact on idiopathic generalized epilepsies is not yet elucidated.

Identification of neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptor genes in Phauda flammans (Walker)

Scientific Reports, 2022
Neuropeptides and neuropeptide receptors are crucial regulators to insect physiological processes. The 21.0 Gb bases were obtained from Illumina sequencing of two libraries representing the female and male heads of Phauda flammans (Walker) (Lepidoptera ...

The Role of NPY in the Regulation of Bone Metabolism

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Bone diseases are the leading causes of disability and severely compromised quality of life. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a multifunctional neuropeptide that participates in various physiological and pathological processes and exists in both the nerve system ...

Sex Differences in the Neuropeptide Y System and Implications for Stress Related Disorders

Biomolecules, 2020
The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system is emerging as a promising therapeutic target for neuropsychiatric disorders by intranasal delivery to the brain. However, the vast majority of underlying research has been performed with males despite females being twice ...

Neuropeptide Y receptors in GtoPdb v.2023.1

, 2023
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee on Neuropeptide Y Receptors [158]) are activated by the endogenous peptides neuropeptide Y, neuropeptide Y-(3-36), peptide YY, PYY-(3-36) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP).

Antisense mRNA for NPY-Y1 receptor in the medial preoptic area increases prolactin secretion

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1999
We investigated the participation of neuropeptide Y-Y1 receptors within the medial preoptic area in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and prolactin release.

Regulation of neurosteroid biosynthesis by neurotransmitters and neuropeptides

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2012
The enzymatic pathways leading to the synthesis of bioactive steroids in the brain are now almost completely elucidated in various groups of vertebrates and, during the last decade, the neuronal mechanisms involved in the regulation of neurosteroid ...

Transcriptomic analysis of crustacean neuropeptide signaling during the moult cycle in the green shore crab, Carcinus maenas

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 ...

Y₁ and Y₂ receptors for neuropeptide Y [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1989
By using monoiodinated radioligands of both intact neuropeptide Y (NPY) and of a long C‐terminal fragment, NPY13–36, two subtypes of binding sites, which differ in affinity and specificity, have been characterized. The Y1 type of binding site, characterized on a human neuroblastoma cell line, MC‐IXC, and a rat pheochromocytoma cell line, PC‐12, binds ...
