Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino acid peptide hormone found in the neural system and has an important role in obesity. The main effect of NPY is increased food intake and decreased physical activity. It also increases the proportion of energy stored as fat and blocks nociceptive signals to the brain. In addition to its role in obesity, NPY has been associated with a number of other physiologic processes in the brain, including the regulation of energy balance, memory and learning, and epilepsy.

The antibody is stable for at least 1 year from the date of receipt when stored at -20°C to -70°C. Reconstituted antibody can also be aliquotted and stored at 4°C for 1 month or at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer for many months without detectable loss activity. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

The antibody can specifically bind to human NPY1-36. Cross reactivity with mouse or rat NPY1-36 was detected.
