The peptides of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) family exert their functions, including regulation of appetite and circadian rhythm, by binding to G-protein coupled receptors. Mammals have five subtypes, named Y1,Y2 , Y4,Y5 and Y6, and recently Y7 has been discovered in fish and amphibi-ans. In chicken we have previously characterized the first four subtypes and here we describe Y6 and Y7. | iFEBS Journal Neuropeptide Y-family receptors Y6 and Y7 in chicken Cloning pharmacological characterization tissue distribution and conserved synteny with human chromosome region Torun Bromíée 1 Paula Sjõdin q Robert Fredriksson1 Tim Boswell2 Tomas A.

Mammals have five subtypes named Y1 Y2 Y4 Y5 and Y6 and recently Y7 has been discovered in fish and amphibians. In chicken we have previously characterized the first four subtypes and here we describe Y6 and Y7. The genes for Y6 and Y7 are located 1 megabase apart on chromosome 13 which displays conserved synteny with human chromosome 5 that harbours the Y6 gene. The porcine PYY radioligand bound the chicken Y6 receptor with a Kd of 0.80 0.36 nM. No functional coupling was demonstrated. The Y6 mRNA is expressed in hypothalamus gastrointestinal tract and adipose tissue. Porcine PYY bound chicken Y7 with a Kd of 0.14 0.01 nM mean SEM whereas chicken PYY surprisingly had a much lower affinity with a Ki of 41 nM perhaps as a result of its additional amino acid at the N terminus. Truncated peptide fragments had greatly reduced .
