Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36-aa neuropeptide that acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and in the autonomic nervous system of humans. It binds to a family of g-protein coupled receptors, Y1-Y6, to regulate a variety of functions including feeding behavior and pain perception. Neuropeptide Y (3-36) binds selectively to Y1 and Y5.
