- 1. A PPF polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of Formula (VI):
- 2. A PPF polypeptide comprising an amino acid sequence of Formula (VII):
-
3. A PPF polypeptide comprising:
-
an N-terminal fragment consisting essentially of the first 17 amino acid residues of native human PYY (SEQ ID NO;
2); and
a C-terminal fragment consisting essentially of amino acid residues 18-36 of native human NPY (SEQ ID NO;
4), wherein the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments are covalently linked, wherein no more than two amino acid residues at the N-terminus of the PYY fragment may be deleted or absent, and wherein no more than nine amino acid substitutions may be made in each of the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments.
-
-
4. A PPF polypeptide from about 34 to about 36 amino acids in length, comprising:
-
an N-terminal fragment consisting essentially of 17 amino acids exhibiting at least 50% sequence identity to the first 17 amino acids of a native PYY; and
a C-terminal fragment consisting essentially of 19 amino acids exhibiting at least 50% sequence identity to amino acids 18-36 of a native NPY, wherein the N-terminal and C-terminal fragments are covalently linked, and wherein one or two amino acid residues at the N-terminus of the PYY fragment may be deleted or absent.
