About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for NPY:

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)

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:

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.
