Entrez Gene summary for NPY Gene:

This gene encodes a neuropeptide that is widely expressed in the central nervous system and influences many

physiological processes, including cortical excitability, stress response, food intake, circadian rhythms, and

cardiovascular function. The neuropeptide functions through G protein-coupled receptors to inhibit adenylyl

cyclase, activate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), regulate intracellular calcium levels, and activate

potassium channels. A polymorphism in this gene resulting in a change of leucine 7 to proline in the signal

peptide is associated with elevated cholesterol levels, higher alcohol consumption, and may be a risk factor for

various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. (provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009)

GeneCards Summary for NPY Gene:

NPY (neuropeptide Y) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with NPY include stress cardiomyopathy, and reflex sympathetic dystrophy. GO annotations related to this gene include G-protein coupled receptor activity and G-protein coupled receptor binding. An important paralog of this gene is PYY.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: NPY_HUMAN, P01303

Function: NPY is implicated in the control of feeding and in secretion of gonadotrophin-release hormone

summary for NPY Gene:

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors are a family of Gi/o-protein-coupled receptors that are currently divided

into four subtypes: Y1, Y2, Y4 and Y5. NPY receptors mediate a diverse range of biological actions including

stimulation of food intake, anxiolysis, modulation of circadian rhythm, pain transmission and control of

pituitary hormone release.
