Activated neuropeptide receptors release the Gi subunit from the heterotrimeric G protein complex. The Gi subunit in turn inhibits the production of the second messenger cAMP from ATP.
Only the crystal structure of Y1 in complex with two antagonist is available.[8]
Types
There are five known mammalian neuropeptide Y receptors designated Y1 through Y5.[9] Four neuropeptide Y receptors each encoded by a different gene have been identified in humans, all of which may represent therapeutic targets for obesity and other disorders.[10][11][12]
