Evolution of the Neuropeptide Y Receptor Family: Gene and Chromosome Duplications Deduced from the Cloning and Mapping of the Five Receptor Subtype Genes in Pig

Table 1.

Amino Acid Sequence Identities Between Species

Receptor subtype Sequence identities
pig:human pig:mouse human:mouse
NPY1R 94.5 92.4 92.4
NPY2R 93.7 93.7 92.9
NPY4R 85.9 77.1 75.7
NPY5R 85.4 81.2 87.6
NPY5R * 93.5 89.0 91.9
NPY6R 80.9 78.4 80.9
  • Amino acid identities are given for aligned NPY receptors over full coding regions, in the pig, human (accession nos. M88461, NM_000910,Z66526, NM_006174, NM_006173), and mouse (accession nos. Z18280, D86238,U40189, AF049329, U58367). NPY5R* represents the NPY5Rsequences without the third intracellular loop in the alignment.
