Description

Proneuropeptide Y CAS NO 108317-02-8 is a synthetic peptide fragment corresponding to a specific region of the proneuropeptide Y precursor protein. This compound is a critical research tool for studying the biosynthesis, processing, and biological functions of neuropeptide Y (NPY), a key neuromodulator involved in numerous physiological processes. It is primarily utilized by research scientists and pharmaceutical developers in the fields of neuroscience, endocrinology, and metabolic disease research.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Used as an antigen for antibody production and in assays to study NPY expression and regulation in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
• Biochemical Studies: Essential for investigating the enzymatic processing and post-translational modification of the proneuropeptide Y precursor.
• Drug Discovery: Serves as a reference standard and tool compound in screening programs targeting NPY receptors for conditions like obesity, anxiety, and cardiovascular diseases.
• Diagnostic Development: Employed in the development of immunoassays (ELISA, RIA) to measure NPY and its related peptides in biological samples.
• Cell Biology: Used in cellular models to probe the intracellular trafficking and secretion mechanisms of neuropeptides.
