PYY3-36 (Peptide Tyrosine Tyrosine, 3-36)
PYY3-36 is an endogenous hormone produced in the ileum and colon or mammalian species, and postprandially released in proportion to the calories consumed during a meal. The peptide is absorbed into the circulatory system and passes the blood-brain barrier, where it contributes to the regulation of energy homeostasis. Acting as an agonist of the Y2-receptor (a member of the NPY family in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus), PYY3-36 inhibits of gastric motility and reduces appetite.
PYY3-36 is intended for use in projects exploring hormonal communication between gut microflora and the central nervous system in mammals.
