Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Neuropeptide Y antibody (AB30914)

IHC image of Neuropeptide Y antibody staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebral cortex* tissue performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab30914, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Immunohistochemistical detection of Neuropeptide Y antibody (ab30914) on formaldehyde fixed paraffin-embedded human foetal wall sectionsAntigen retrieval step : Heat mediated. Buffer : Citric acid pH6. Permeabilization : None. Blocking step : 1% BSA for 10 mins at 21°C. Primary antibody incubated at 1/1500 for 2 hours at 21°C in TBS/BSA/azide. Abcam's EXPOSE detection kit was used : ab80436. NB : In the submitted image arrowheads indicate positive features : red for ganglion cells in the Submucosa (Meissner's plexus), green for ganglion cells in the Muscularis externa (Auerbach's plexus). There is also a diffuse fine positivity throughout the smooth muscle cells of the externa.

Supplementary information

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) a 36 amino acid peptide functions mechanically as a neurotransmitter in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Alternate names include porcine peptide YY. The molecular weight of Neuropeptide Y is approximately 4 kDa. It expresses primarily in regions of the brain such as the hypothalamus and sympathetic nervous system as well as in other tissues including the heart adrenal glands and white adipose tissue.
Biological function summary

Neuropeptide Y plays an important role in regulating various physiological processes. It is not typically part of a complex but acts directly on specific receptors mainly Y1 Y2 Y4 and Y5. Neuropeptide Y affects food intake behavior stress response circadian rhythm and cardiovascular regulation. It does so by modulating the release of other neurotransmitters or hormones having a significant impact on energy balance and homeostasis.

Pathways

Neuropeptide Y plays a pivotal role in neurobiological signaling pathways especially those involving stress and energy homeostasis. In the hypothalamus NPY influences energy balance by interacting with the melanocortin pathway an important modulator of appetite and energy expenditure. It also interacts with proteins such as pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) in these signaling pathways highlighting its integration into complex physiological processes that maintain homeostasis.

Neuropeptide Y shows a significant connection to metabolic disorders and stress-related conditions. Dysregulation of NPY signaling has been implicated in obesity given its role in promoting food intake and energy storage. Additionally altered Neuropeptide Y activity links to anxiety and depression diseases involving stress-response dysregulation. Proteins like leptin which interacts with NPY in pathways governing hunger and energy allocation provide another layer of regulation affecting these conditions.
