Characterisation of Neuropeptide Y Receptor Subtypes by Synthetic NPY Analogues and by Anti-receptor Antibodies
Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-mer neuromodulator, binds to the receptors Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5 with nanomolar affinity. They all belong to the rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled, seven transmembrane helix spanning receptors. In this study, Ala-substituted and centrally truncated NPY analogues were compared w...
