Neuropeptide Y receptors are a family of receptors belonging to class A G-protein coupled receptors and they are activated by the closely related peptide hormones neuropeptide Y, peptide YY and pancreatic polypeptide. [1] These receptors are involved in the control of a diverse set of behavioral processes including appetite, circadian rhythm, and anxiety. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
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.
Only the crystal structure of Y1 in complex with two antagonist is available. [8]
There are five known mammalian neuropeptide Y receptors designated Y1 through Y5. [9] 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. [10] [11] [12]
