Function
Receptor for neuropeptide Y (NPY) and peptide YY (PYY). Can also bind with lower affinity pancreatic polypeptide (PP/PPY) and [Leu-31, Pro-34]NPY, an analog of NPY modified at residues 31 and 34 of the mature form. NPY or PYY binding induces adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling, resulting in inhibition of cAMP production.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: High levels in amygdala, corpus callosum, hippocampus and subthalamic nucleus. Also detectable in caudate nucleus, hypothalamus and substantia nigra
