| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Neuropeptide Y (NPY) plays a vital role in feeding behaviour, anxiety, epilepsy, circadian, rhythm memory processing, sleep, pain and drug addiction. In addition, it is also implicated in regulation of appetite, body weight and obesity. It controls central endocrine secretion and has potent vasoactive effects on the cardiovascular system. NPY is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | The antibody recognizes by ELISA, NPY (human), NPY (porcine), NPY (sheep), NPY (13-36), NPY (18-36), and may also cross-reacts with PYY (human). It does not cross-react with neurokinin B (NKB), neurokinin A (NKA), substance P (SP), calcitonin, somatostatin and BSA. |

| General description: | Anti-Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is developed in rabbits using synthetic neuropeptide Y (porcine) conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as the immunogen. |
| General description: | Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a 36-amino acid peptide amide, is a major regulatory neuropeptide widely distributed in the mammalian central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS). NPY belongs to the pancreatic polypeptide family of peptides which are characterized by a common tertiary structure. Within this family, an intestinal peptide hormone, peptide YY (PYY), is most closely related to NPY. In the CNS, NPY is involved in regulation of blood pressure, memory processing, circadian rhythm, and stimulation of food intake. In the PNS, NPY has potent vasoconstrictor activity and acts as a neurotransmitter/neuromod |
| Immunogen: | synthetic neuropeptide Y (NPY, porcine), conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved (single amino acid substitution) in human and rat NPY and is highly conserved (84% identity) in the C-terminus region (24-36) of human peptide YY. |
