Neuropeptide Y is widely expressed in the central nervous system and influences many physiological processes, including cortical excitability, stress response, food intake, circadian rhythms, and cardiovascular function. The neuropeptide functions through G protein-coupled receptors to inhibit adenylyl cyclase, activate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), regulate intracellular calcium levels, and activate potassium channels. A polymorphism in this gene resulting in a change of leucine 7 to proline in the signal peptide is associated with elevated cholesterol levels, higher alcohol consumption, and may be a risk factor for various metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Neuropeptide Y also exhibits antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi.
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the NPY antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the middle region of human Neuropeptide Y (YPSKPDNPGEDAPAEDMARYYSALRHYINLITRQRY) was used as the immunogen for this NPY antibody (100% homologous in human, mouse and rat).
After reconstitution, the NPY antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
