Neuropeptide Y receptors are a class of G-protein coupled receptors which are activated by the closely related peptide hormones neuropeptide Y peptide YY and pancreatic polypeptide. These receptors are involved in the control of a diverse set of behavioral processes including appetite circadian rhythm and anxiety.Activated neuropeptide receptors release the Gi subunit from the heterotrimeric G protein complex.
