Npy5r - neuropeptide Y receptor Y5

Enables pancreatic polypeptide receptor activity and peptide YY receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of ovulation cycle rhythm; negative regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; and regulation of acute inflammatory response. Located in cytoplasm. Used to study childhood absence epilepsy; hyperinsulinism; and visual epilepsy. Biomarker of coronary restenosis; obesity; and prolactinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lipid metabolism disorder and obesity. Orthologous to human NPY5R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
