The NPY2R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y2) gene is mapped to human chromosome 4q32.1 and codes for a G-protein-coupled receptor. NPY2R is predominantly expressed in central nervous system including hypothalamus, brain stem, hippocampus, lateral septum and amygdala. NPY2 receptors are also distributed in the liver, spleen, intestine, adipose tissue and muscle.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human NPY2R.
Immunogen Range: 1-50
Biochem/physiol Actions
NPY2R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y2) acts as a presynaptic autoreceptor and heteroreceptor. It regulates the release of both endogenous NPY and neurotransmitters such as glutamate and γ–aminobutyric acid (GABA). NPY exerts its anxiolytic function via the NPY2R. Deletion of NPY2R results in retardation of the anticonvulsant actions of NPY. NPY2R plays an important role in the process of bone formation.

Resistance to anti-angiogenic therapies targeting vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A) stems from VEGF-A independent angiogenesis mediated by other proangiogenic factors. Therefore identifying these factors in colon adenocarcinoma (CA) will reveal new therapeutic targets. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) and Y2 receptor (Y2R)
Sebaceous glands (SGs) synthesize and secret sebum to protect and moisturize the dermal system via the complicated endocrine modulation. Dysfunction of SG are usually implicated in a number of dermal and inflammatory diseases. However, the molecular mechanism behind the differentiation

Neuropeptide Y (NPY), a sympathetic neurotransmitter, is involved in various physiological functions, and its dysregulation is implicated in several neurodegenerative diseases. Glutamate excitotoxicity, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and oxidative stress are the common mechanisms associated with numerous neurodegenerative illnesses. The
Peptidergic sensory neurons play a critical role in nociceptive pathways. To precisely define the function and plasticity of sensory neurons in detail, new tools such as transgenic mouse models are needed. We employed electrophysiology and immunohistochemistry to characterize in detail
