A receptor subtype involved in neuropeptide-Y-induced food intake

Abstract: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a powerful stimulant of food intake and is proposed to activate a hypothalamic 'feeding' receptor distinct from previously cloned Y-type receptors. This receptor was first suggested to explain a feeding response to NPY and related peptides, including NPY2-36, that differed from their activities at the Y1 receptor. Here we report the expression cloning of a novel Y-type receptor from rat hypothalamus, which we name Y5. The complementary DNA encodes a 456-amino-acid protein with less than… Show more

“…of feeding. [146][147][148][151][152][153][154][155] NPY neurons in the Arc may contribute to ORX's effects on food intake, as ORX neurons innervate this NPY neuronal population and stimulate it. 156 Presently, we will focus on the Y1-R, as accumulating evidence suggests that this Y-receptor subtype contributes to NPY action not only on consummatory behavior but also on emotional responses.…”

“…Its wide range of action is exerted via several receptor subtypes, named Y 1 -[17±19], Y 2 -[20±22], Y 5 - [23] and y 6 - [24] receptor subtypes, whereas the related peptide PP binds to the Y 4 /PP 1 -receptor [25,26]. A putative Y 3 -receptor has been described only pharmacologically and no specific agonists or antagonists are known [27].…”
