Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Structure and Function:** PPY is a 36-amino acid peptide hormone, consisting of two disulfide-linked polypeptide chains. It is secreted by PP cells, a type of enteroendocrine cell found in the pancreas, and has been identified in various other tissues, including the brain, adrenal glands, and immune cells. 2. **Expression:** PPY is widely expressed in various cell types, including erythrocytes, double-negative thymocytes, hematopoietic stem cells, pancreatic ductal cells, megakaryocytes, and T cells. 3. **Signaling Pathways:** PPY interacts with G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), specifically Rhodopsin-like receptors, to activate downstream signaling pathways, including Gα(i) signaling events and GPCR downstream signaling. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **G Protein-Coupled Receptor Signaling:** PPY binding to GPCRs triggers a cascade of signaling events, including the activation of Gα(i) proteins, which in turn modulate various cellular processes, such as gene expression, ion transport, and cell proliferation. 2. **Hormone Secretion:** PPY stimulates the secretion of other hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and gastrin, from pancreatic islet cells and enteroendocrine cells. 3. **Feeding Behavior:** PPY plays a role in regulating feeding behavior by modulating the activity of hypothalamic neurons involved in appetite control. 4. **Neuroimmunology:** PPY has been implicated in the regulation of immune responses, including the activation of T cells and the production of cytokines. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Diabetes:** Abnormalities in PPY expression and function have been linked to type 2 diabetes, a condition characterized by impaired insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. 2. **Gastrointestinal Disorders:** PPY dysregulation has been associated with various gastrointestinal disorders, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and pancreatic cancer. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** PPY has been implicated in the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, where it may play a role in regulating neuroinflammation and neuronal survival. In conclusion, the PPY gene encodes a complex neuropeptide hormone with widespread expression and multifunctional roles in regulating physiological processes, including feeding behavior, hormone secretion, and immune responses. Further research into the mechanisms of PPY signaling and its clinical significance is essential for understanding the molecular basis of various diseases and developing novel therapeutic strategies.
