MSH: A 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons. It has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity and regulates local blood flow, glandular secretion, and smooth muscle activity. The peptide also stimulates feeding and drinking behavior and influences secretion of pituitary hormones.,CSP: 36-amino acid peptide present in many organs and in many sympathetic noradrenergic neurons; has vasoconstrictor and natriuretic activity.,NCI: Encoded by single copy human NPY Gene (NPY Family), 97-aa 11-kDa (precursor) secreted Neuropeptide Y is a 36-aa peptide neuromodulator with sequence homology to peptide YY and PNP. One of the most abundant widespread peptides in the nervous system and found in some adrenal medulla chromaffin cells, NPY is one of the most highly conserved peptides known; only 3 amino acid differences exist between human and shark. Implicated in control of feeding, energy balance, and secretion of GNRH, NPY may also regulate angiogenesis. NPY regulates pr
