Neuropeptide Y (NPY) (3-36) is a C-terminal fragment of NPY, a neuropeptide involved in controlling appetite, blood pressure, cardiac contractility, and intestinal secretion. NPY (3-36) is an endogenous peptide produced by cleavage of NPY by dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4). It binds selectively to the NPY receptor Y2 (Ki = 0.41 nM in CHP 234 cells) over the Y1 receptor, where it does not bind at concentrations up to 1 μM. NPY (3-36) (0.1 nM) increases migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) by 80% after 12 hours in an in vitro wound closure assay. NPY (3-36) corresponds to residues 3-36 of the human and rat protein sequence.
Neuropeptide Y (3-36) (human, rat) is a metabolite of neuropeptide Y (NPY) generated by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4). Known as a selective Y2 receptor agonist, Neuropeptide Y (3-36) (human, rat) effectively reduces the release of norepinephrine via the Y2 receptor[1][2].
Potent, selective and competitive nonpeptide antagonist for the neuropeptide Y Y2 receptor (IC50 = 15 nM). Displays > 650-fold selectivity for NPYY2 over Y1, Y4 and Y5 receptors. Active in vivo.
BIBP 3226 trifluoroacetate is a mixed non-peptide neuropeptide Y Y1(NPY Y1) and neuropeptide FF (NPFF) receptor antagonist (Kivalues are 1.1, 79, 108, > 1000, > 1000 and >1000 for rNPY Y1, hNPFF2, rNPFF, rNPYY2, rNPY Y4and rNPY Y5respectively). Produces an anxiogenic-like effect in rats following i.c.v. administration.
Potent, selective peptide agonist for the neuropeptide Y Y5 receptor (IC50 values for inhibition of NPY binding to human Y5, Y1, Y2 and Y4 receptors are 0.24, 530, > 500, and 51 nM respectively, Ki at Y5 = 0.1 - 0.15 nM). Stimulates food intake in vivo.
Potent neuropeptide Y (NPY) Y5 receptor agonist (pEC50 values are 7.82, 6.28, 6.44 and > 6 at rat Y5, Y4, Y1 and Y2 receptors respectively) that displays > 26-fold, > 1000-fold and > 1000-fold selectivity over Y1, Y2 and Y4 receptors respectively. Induces
