Quantitative sandwich ELISA for measuring Pig Peptide YY (PYY) in samples from cell culture supernatants, serum, whole blood, plasma and other biological fluids.

• Additional information:Peptide YY is a short (36 amino acid) protein released by cells in the ileum and colon in response to feeding. It is also known as PYY, Peptide Tyrosine Tyrosine, or Pancreatic Peptide YY3-36. Peptide YY is related to the pancreatic peptide family by having 18 of its 36 amino acids located in the same positions as pancreatic peptide. There are two major forms of Peptide YY: PYY1-36 and PYY3-36 which have PP fold structural motif.However, the most common form of circulating PYY immunoreactivity is PYY3-36 which binds to Y2 receptor (Y2R) of Y family receptors. Peptide YY3-36 (PYY) is a linear polypeptide consisting of 36 amino acids with structural homology to NPY and pancreatic polypeptide.
