Neuropeptide Y Antibody | 22940 | ImmunoStar

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a member of a regulatory peptide family and has a marked sequence homology with pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and peptide YY (PYY), which are other members of the family. NPY is widely expressed in the nervous system and has been shown to be differentially expressed in inhibitory interneurons in the hippocampus in degenerative disease, as a powerful vasoconstrictor in the periphery, and increased expression of NPY in the hypothalamus correlates with food intake. In the rat central nervous system, immunohistochemistry has found NPY-like cell bodies in the cortex, caudate-putamen, hypothalamus (arcuate nucleus), hippocampus, anterior westolfactory bulb, nucleus accumbens, amygdaloid complex and periaqueductal grey. NPY-like fibers and terminals are detected in high numbers in the bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, the peri- and paraventricular regions of the hypothalamus and thalamus and in discrete hypothalamic nuclei, particularly the suprachiasmatic nucleus. Westerns are not recommended for the Neuropeptide Y antibody since the protein is too small to detect in gel.
