Description

Neuropeptide Y, Porcine is a 36-amino acid peptide neurotransmitter belonging to the pancreatic polypeptide family. This compound is a critical research tool for studying energy homeostasis, cardiovascular function, and neuroendocrine regulation. It is essential for researchers and developers in the fields of neuroscience, metabolic disease research, and pharmaceutical development, where it is used for receptor binding studies, functional assays, and as a reference standard.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Investigation of NPY receptor (Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5, Y6) signaling, neuronal excitability, and synaptic transmission.
• Metabolic & Obesity Studies: Research into appetite regulation, energy balance, and the pathophysiology of metabolic disorders.
• Cardiovascular Research: Study of vascular tone, blood pressure regulation, and cardiac function.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Use as a reference standard in the development and quality control of peptide-based therapeutics targeting NPY pathways.
• Biochemical Assays: Critical reagent in competitive binding assays (RIA, ELISA) and functional cellular assays to evaluate agonist/antagonist activity.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Fundamental research in neurobiology, endocrinology, and physiology within university and government laboratories.

Quality Control

Our Neuropeptide Y, Porcine is produced and tested under stringent conditions to ensure the highest standards of purity and biological activity, suitable for critical research applications. Each batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, peptide content, and biological potency. We adhere to rigorous in-house quality protocols to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for your research needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below in a dedicated freezer. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). For long-term storage, consider desiccant and under an inert atmosphere. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to prevent condensation and moisture uptake.
