[Leu31, Pro34]-Neuropeptide Y (Porcine)

This NPY analog is a highly potent and selective ligand for Y? 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
