Mouse Neuropeptide Y Receptor Y2 (NPY2R) ELISA Kit

For neuroscience and metabolic research involving murine NPY2R signaling, this in vitro ELISA kit from Assay Genie provides quantitative receptor-protein measurement. NPY2R (Neuropeptide Y Receptor Y2) is a class A G-protein-coupled receptor broadly expressed in the central nervous system, where it modulates appetite, anxiety-related behavior, and presynaptic neurotransmitter release.

Investigators studying obesity, satiety pathways, stress responses, and NPY pharmacology use receptor-level quantification in mouse tissues to interpret behavioral and pharmacological endpoints. The kit handles tissue homogenates and additional mouse-derived sample matrices, accommodating 96 assays per plate. The colorimetric method produces absorbance values that are converted to receptor concentration through the supplied standard curve.

Typical applications include profiling NPY2R expression in hypothalamic and brain-stem extracts, comparing wild-type versus knockout mouse strains, and tracking receptor changes after drug treatment, dietary manipulation, or genetic modification. The kit pairs with companion metabolic-peptide assays (leptin, ghrelin, NPY) for pathway-level investigations across metabolic-disease, neuropharmacology, and behavioral-neuroscience programs. Reagent handling guidance is detailed in the product insert, including working-dilution recommendations and standard-preparation steps to maintain standard-curve performance across the full plate.
