Neuropeptide Y receptors are receptors for Neuropeptide Y. They are all G-protein coupled receptors, coupling to Gi[1].

Types

There are five known mammalian neuropeptide y receptors designated Y1 through Y5.[2]

Four neuropeptide y receptors each encoded by a different gene have been identified in humans:

The neuropeptide Y receptors act as receptors for NPY, PYY and pancreatic polypeptide which are a closely related group of peptides.
