Difference between Neurotransmitter and Peptide YY

Neurotransmitter vs. Peptide YY

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission. Peptide YY (PYY) also known as peptide tyrosine tyrosine is a peptide that in humans is encoded by the PYY gene.

Similarities between Neurotransmitter and Peptide YY

Neurotransmitter and Peptide YY have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Brainstem, Neuroendocrine cell, Neuropeptide Y, Neuropeptide Y receptor, Pancreatic polypeptide, Peptide.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Brainstem

The brainstem (or brain stem) is the posterior part of the brain, adjoining and structurally continuous with the spinal cord.

Neuroendocrine cells are cells that receive neuronal input (neurotransmitters released by nerve cells or neurosecretory cells) and, as a consequence of this input, release message molecules (hormones) to the blood.

Neuropeptide Y

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a 36 amino-acid neuropeptide that is involved in various physiological and homeostatic processes in both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Neuropeptide Y receptor

Neuropeptide Y receptors are a family of receptors belonging to class A G-protein coupled receptors and they are activated by the closely related peptide hormones neuropeptide Y, peptide YY and pancreatic polypeptide.
