Neuropeptide Y neurotransmitter molecule F006 / 9493
Neuropeptide Y neurotransmitter molecule. Molecular model showing the structure of the neurotransmitter neuropeptide Y (NPY). NPY is found in the brain and autonomic nervous system. It is secreted by the hypothalamus and its main effect is to increase food intake and decrease physical activity. It has also been associated with a number of physiologic processes in the brain, including the regulation of energy balance, memory and learning, and epilepsy

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurotransmitter molecule. Against a clean white background, this molecular model highlights the complexity and beauty of NPY, which is found in both the brain and autonomic nervous system. Secreted by the hypothalamus, NPY plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes. Its primary function is to increase food intake while simultaneously decreasing physical activity. However, its influence extends beyond these basic functions. NPY has been associated with important processes such as energy balance regulation, memory formation and learning, as well as epilepsy. The detailed illustration emphasizes key features of this vital molecule. From its alpha helix and beta sheet structures to its tertiary arrangement, every aspect is meticulously captured in this artwork. The image also underscores how NPY acts as a neurotransmitter within our body's complex neural network. With applications in biology, research, medicine, and neurology among others, understanding the structure and function of neuropeptide Y holds immense significance for healthcare professionals and scientists alike. This visually striking print serves as an invaluable resource for those studying biochemistry or delving into proteomics research. Providing insight into one of nature's remarkable creations at a molecular level, LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY delivers yet another stunning piece that captures both scientific precision and artistic brilliance.
