Target Information
Neuropeptide Y receptor type 5 is a receptor for neuropeptide Y and peptide YY, with its activity mediated by G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase. This receptor is linked to food intake and may play a role in feeding disorders. In mice, NPY5R has multiple functions including regulating appetite, behavior, mood, and energy balance. These roles underscore its pivotal contribution to the neuroendocrine system and highlight its potential as a therapeutic target. Despite the absence of NPY1R or NPY5R in mice, NPY-induced increases in food intake and obesity still occur, indicating a functional redundancy between these receptors. NPY5R is expressed in specific brain regions of mice, such as the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus, which are crucial for appetite regulation.
