Product name:Rat neuropeptide Y,NP-Y ELISA Kit
Description:
Neuropeptide Y is a 36-amino acid peptide that is abundant throughout the mammalian nervous system. It belongs to the same family of carboxyl-terminally amidated peptides as pancreatic polypeptide and peptide YY. The gene encoding the rat neuropeptide Y precursor spans 7.2 kilobase pairs and contains four exons. The exon organization is identical to the pancreatic polypeptide gene, although the amino acid sequences of the neuropeptide Y and pancreatic polypeptide precursors differ extensively.The sequence of the 30-amino acid carboxyl-terminal peptide of preproneuropeptide Y is highly conserved, suggests that it is functionally important.
