Neuropeptide Y/NPY in Human Brain. Neuropeptide Y/NPY was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (hypothalamus) using Mouse Anti-Human Neuropeptide Y/NPY Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB8517) at 15 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to neuronal processes.

Background: Neuropeptide Y/NPY
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide that was isolated from hypothalamus in porcine brain in 1982 and lately it belongs to a family of peptides which include Pancreatic Polypeptide (PP) and Peptide YY (PYY) which exert their pharmacological action via interaction with G-protein coupled receptors Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5 and y6. NPY is the most abundant peptide in brain and in nervous system NPY functions as a neurotransmitter regulating many processes including memory and learning, pain, fat storage and blood pressure. NPY also regulates stress by stimulating secretion of corticotropin-releasing hormone in brain. It appears there is a correlation between the increased levels of NPY gene expression in hippocampus and epileptic seizures. Cocaine reduces the levels of NPY and such a decrease is thought to be related to depression and anxiety. NPY receptors are rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled receptors (GPCR) coupled to Gi or G0 proteins, which inhibit adenylate cyclase and reduce cAMP accumulation and modulate Calcium and Potassium channels.
