Receptor for neuropeptide Y and peptide YY. The rank order of affinity of this receptor for pancreatic polypeptides is NPY = PYY >= NPY (2-36) = [Leu-31, Pro-34] NPY > NPY (13-36) > PP. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that inhibits adenylate cyclase activity.
Similarity
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
When expressed, is unable to bind pancreatic polypeptide (PP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), or peptide YY (PYY), suggesting that either it is functionally inactive or that it may have acquired a pancreatic polypeptide-independent function.
