Additional information
Additional information Neuropeptide Y has a high degree of sequence homology with peptide YY (70%), the newly isolated porcine intestinal peptide, and pancreatic polypeptide (50%). Therefore, neuropeptide Y, peptide YY, and pancreatic polypeptide are members of a newly recognized peptide family [2].
