The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) regulates a number of circadian rhythms in mammals. A neuropeptide Y (NPY)-containing pathway from the intergeniculate leaflet of the lateral geniculate to the SCN is considered to carry information of the environmental light-dark cycle. Antisera directed agains...detailed
Proneuropeptide Y (proNPY) is posttranslationally processed to NPY(1–36)amide and the C-terminal flanking peptide of NPY (CPON). Antisera directed against the N-terminal part of NPY, CPON, or CysNPY(32–36)amide were used to identify peptide fragments processed from proNPY in biopsies of human ...detailed
