Preferred Label : Pro-Neuropeptide Y;

NCIt synonyms : Prepro-Neuropeptide Y;

NCIt definition : Pro-neuropeptide Y (97 aa, 11 kDa) is encoded by the human NPY gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of feeding behavior.;

NCIt note : Pro-neuropeptide Y is cleaved into two peptides comprised of either amino acid residues 29-64, which is called neuropeptide Y, or residues 68-97, which is called C-flanking peptide of NPY (CPON). (UniProt);
