The proposed scenario for the evolution of the NPY receptor gene family. Initially two local duplications generated the ancestors ofNPY1R, NPY2R, and NPY5R. Then, two large-scale duplications followed, arriving at the current gene arrangement. Genes with question marks may have been lost or have not yet been discovered.
