Overview
The pro-NPY peptide (34-43) is derived from the human neuropeptide Y sequence, featuring a cathepsin cleavage site. This key peptide plays a significant role in the processing and biosynthesis of neuropeptides and is processed by host proteases such as cathepsin L. Understanding the dynamics of neuropeptide Y is crucial because it contributes to various physiological processes, including appetite regulation and stress response. Our pro-NPY peptide can serve as a valuable tool in research focused on neuropeptide function and interaction, particularly in relation to viral propagation where cathepsin-mediated cleavage is necessary for viral cell entry.
