Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) structure**: NPY2R belongs to the class A/1 (rhodopsin-like) receptors, characterized by a seven-transmembrane domain structure and the ability to activate G proteins. 2. **Neuropeptide Y (NPY) ligand binding**: NPY2R is a high-affinity receptor for NPY, a peptide hormone involved in various physiological processes, including cardiovascular regulation, anxiety, and stress responses. 3. **Adenylate cyclase inhibition**: Activation of NPY2R leads to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase, resulting in decreased cAMP levels and reduced downstream signaling. 4. **Calcium channel regulation**: NPY2R also modulates calcium channel activity, influencing intracellular calcium levels and cellular excitability. 5. **Expression in multiple cell types**: NPY2R is expressed in various cell types, including endothelial cells, goblet cells, and neurons, highlighting its diverse roles in different tissues. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Cardiovascular regulation**: NPY2R plays a crucial role in regulating cardiovascular function, including blood pressure, cardiac output, and vascular tone. 2. **Neurotransmission**: NPY2R is involved in neuronal signaling, modulating neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity. 3. **Immune responses**: NPY2R modulates immune responses, influencing the activity of immune cells and the production of cytokines. 4. **Neuroinflammation**: NPY2R is involved in neuroinflammation, regulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the activation of microglia. 5. **Cancer progression**: NPY2R is overexpressed in various cancers, including colon cancer, and may contribute to cancer progression and metastasis. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Cardiovascular diseases**: NPY2R has been implicated in cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, and cardiac arrhythmias. 2. **Neurological disorders**: NPY2R is involved in neurological disorders, including anxiety, depression, and neuroinflammation. 3. **Cancer therapy**: NPY2R is a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment, particularly in colon cancer. 4. **Neuroprotection**: NPY2R may play a role in neuroprotection, regulating neuronal survival and excitability. In conclusion, the Neuropeptide Y2 Receptor is a multifaceted immunomodulator with implications for cardiovascular and neurological diseases. Further research is needed to fully elucidate the signaling pathways and clinical significance of NPY2R, but its potential as a therapeutic target is promising.
