Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-amino acid endogenous neuropeptide which is involved in a variety of physiological and homeostatic processes. It is widely distributed in the CNS and is one of the most abundant peptides found in the brain. It is also distributed in the PNS.
The NPY neuropeptide is active in vivo and has been shown to be involved in obesity and food intake, stress, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, pain, neurodegeneration and cardiovascular regulation.
NPY is a potent orexigenic peptide which stimulates food intake.
