Notes: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) (13-36) is a C-terminal fragment of NPY, a neuropeptide involved in controlling appetite, blood pressure, cardiac contractility, and intestinal secretion.{5565} NPY (13-36) is an agonist of the NPY receptor Y2 with Ki values of 1.28 and 2.62 nM for the rat recombinant receptor in CHO cells and in rat jejunal crypt cell membranes, respectively.{41607} It inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation with EC50 values of 300, 2.2, >1,000, and 20 at Y1, Y2, Y4, and Y5 receptors, respectively, in vitro .{41608} NPY (13-36) inhibits basal short circuit currents (EC50 = ~2 µM) and electrical field stimulated-secretory responses in isolated rat jejunal mucosa (EC50 = ~200 nM) but does so less potently than NPY (Item Nos. 24716 / 15071).{41609} NPY (13-36) also reduces the frequency of spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) in the CA3 region of hippocampal slices from wild-type but not Y5 receptor knockout mice.{41610}
