NPY5-R Polyclonal Antibody

Neuropeptide Y receptor Y5 encoded by NPY5R is a receptor for neuropeptide Y and peptide YY. Neuropeptide Y receptor Y5 appears to be involved in regulating food intake, with defects in NPY5R being associated with eating disorders. Also, neuropeptide Y receptor Y5 is involved in a pathway that protects neuroblastoma cells from chemotherapy-induced cell death, providing a possible therapeutic target against neuroblastoma. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for NPY5R.
