Notes
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human PYY. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (Human PYY ELISA Kit ab255727), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
Peptide YY (PYY) also known as PYY1 or PYY3-36 is a 36-amino acid peptide hormone with a molecular weight of approximately 4 kDa. Expressed primarily in the L-cells of the ileum and colon PYY is released into the bloodstream postprandially. This hormone serves as an important messenger in appetite control and energy homeostasis. Peptide YY reduces gastric motility and increases water and electrolyte absorption in the colon playing an integral role in digestion and nutrient absorption processes.
- Biological function summary
The hormone influences several physiological functions beyond its mechanical roles. Peptide YY hormone function includes inhibiting appetite through interactions with the neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptors in the brain's hypothalamus. It acts together with similar peptides including pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) establishing a complex regulatory system that governs energy balance and food intake. PYY contributes to short-term and long-term body weight management linking gut to brain signals.
- Pathways
Peptide YY hormone function integrates into the gut-brain axis and the neuroendocrine system. It engages mainly in the regulation of the Y2 receptor pathway interacting with proteins like the ghrelin receptor and insulin pathways. Moreover PYY can influence the feeding pathway by modulating the arcuate nucleus neurons establishing connections with the melanocortin system and agouti-related peptide (AgRP). This integration importantly contributes to satiety and appetite modulation.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Peptide YY is linked to obesity and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Altered levels of PYY associate with increased risk of obesity due to dysregulated appetite signals. Disorders like IBS relate to the imbalance of functional gut hormones including PYY which impacts bowel motility and gastrointestinal comfort. Other proteins such as ghrelin and leptin participate in these pathways providing insight into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.
