Neuropeptide Y receptor : ウィキペディア英語版 | Neuropeptide Y receptor
Neuropeptide Y receptors are a class of G-protein coupled receptors which are activated by the closely related peptide hormones neuropeptide Y, peptide YY and pancreatic polypeptide. These receptors are involved in the control of a diverse set of behavioral processes including appetite, circadian rhythm, and anxiety. Activated neuropeptide receptors release the Gi subunit from the heterotrimeric G protein complex. The Gi subunit in turn inhibits the production of the second messenger cAMP from ATP. ==Types== There are five known mammalian neuropeptide Y receptors designated Y1 through Y5. Four neuropeptide Y receptors each encoded by a different gene have been identified in humans, all of which may represent therapeutic targets for obesity and other disorders. * Y1 - * Y2 - * Y4 - * Y5 -
