TL;DR

Based on structural and evolutionary criteria, neuropeptide Y (NPY)b, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypetide (PP) are closely related polypeptides that share considerable amino acid homology, amidated C-terminal ends, and the same structure.

Abstract

Based on structural and evolutionary criteria, neuropeptide Y (NPY)b, peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypetide (PP) are closely related polypeptides ([Larhammar, 1996a][1]). They are composed of 36 amino acids each and share considerable amino acid homology, amidated C-terminal ends, and the
