NPY Y1 receptor 1 nM (Kd) NPY Y2 receptor 670 nM (Kd)
Neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor subtype Y1 (NPY1R). NPY is a potent orexigenic peptide involved in many physiological processes including appetite regulation, anxiety, memory, and vasoconstriction. The Y1 receptor is one of several GPCRs that mediate these effects. (Leu31,Pro34)-Peptide YY is a selective agonist for the Y1 receptor, helping to dissociate its functions from those of other NPY receptors. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
(Leu31,Pro34)-Peptide YY (human) (TFA) is a potent and selective Y1 agonist with a KD of 1.0 nM. This high binding affinity makes it a valuable tool for specifically activating Y1 receptors in vitro without significantly affecting other NPY receptors. It is a derivative of Peptide YY (PYY), a naturally occurring gut hormone, and its activity is enhanced by the specific leucine and proline substitutions.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo activity data is not provided in the available datasheets. As a Y1 agonist, it is a powerful tool for studying the physiological roles of the Y1 receptor in animal models. By activating Y1 receptors, this peptide can induce specific biological responses, such as vasoconstriction or anxiolysis, depending on the site of action, making it valuable for dissecting complex neuropeptide Y signaling pathways.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
To assess binding affinity, a radioligand binding assay is performed using membranes prepared from cells that overexpress the human Y1 receptor. The membranes are incubated with a radiolabeled version of a known Y1 ligand, such as [125I]-PYY, in the presence of varying concentrations of the test peptide. After incubation, the mixture is filtered to separate bound from free radioligand, and the radioactivity is counted to calculate the KD value.
|
| Cell Assay |
A standard cell-based assay for GPCR activation involves measuring the accumulation of intracellular cAMP. Cells expressing the Y1 receptor are treated with forskolin to raise cAMP levels. The Y1 receptor is Gi-coupled, so its activation inhibits adenylyl cyclase and reduces cAMP. Cells are exposed to varying concentrations of the peptide, and the resulting cAMP levels are measured using an ELISA or a TR-FRET-based kit to determine the EC50.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo studies of appetite, a fasted mouse model is used. Mice are fasted overnight and then injected intraperitoneally or intracerebroventricularly with the peptide. Food intake is measured at various time points post-injection. Activation of Y1 receptors in the hypothalamus is known to have orexigenic effects, so this peptide can be used to study feeding behavior and the neural circuits controlling appetite.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
As a 36-amino acid peptide, it has low oral bioavailability. The TFA salt form is water-soluble and is typically administered via injection for in vivo studies. The peptide should be stored as a lyophilized powder at -80degC and protected from moisture. When in solution, it should be stored at -80degC for up to 1 year to prevent degradation.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
No toxicity data is provided for this compound. Peptide agonists of GPCRs are generally well-tolerated at low to moderate doses. As with other research chemicals, standard precautions should be taken during handling. A significant concern for systemically administered peptides is the potential for immunogenicity, although this is less of a concern for single-dose or short-term studies.
