Descriptor neuropéptido Y
Entry term(s) neuropéptido inmunorreactivo Y-like
Scope note: Péptido de 36 aminoácidos presente en muchos órganos y en muchas neuronas simpáticas noradrenérgicas. Tiene actividad vasoconstrictora y natriurética y regula el flujo sanguíneo local, la secreción glandular y la actividad del músculo liso. El péptido estimula también la conducta de la comida y bebida e influye en la secreción de las hormonas hipofisarias.
