Porcine [Leu31, Pro34] Neuro Y peptide

This NPY analog is a highly potent and selective ligand for Y1 receptors in different cell lines and tissues. It has therefore been used to detect the NPY/PYY receptor subtype distribution, e.g., in rat brain. The peptide is also active in vivo, showing an even higher potency than NPY in increasing blood pressure in anesthetized rats
