Neuropeptide Y and Y2-receptor are involved in development of diabetic retinopathy and retinal neovascularization

BACKGROUND: Neuropeptide Y is a sympathetic neurotransmitter, a potent endothelium-derived angiogenic factor and a vascular mitogen. We have studied the role of the functional leucine7 to proline7 polymorphism of the signal peptide region of preproneuropeptide Y (prepro-NPY) as a genetic susceptibil...
