peptide YY-2; peptide YY2 (PYY2)
Structure: belongs to the NPY family
Compartment: secreted
Expression: expressed mainly in the testis & prostate
Note:
- could be the product of a pseudogene
- a few point mutations in the signal peptide region of the PYY2 gene & in several other regions results in destruction of the normal initiation code, generation of an alternative initiation site & an early stop codon which reduces the predicated size of the peptide to only 33 amino acid residues
