| Gene Symbol | ent-gene-8cd44c77 |
| Somatodendritic architecture | Medium-sized cell bodies (15-20 μm diameter) with moderately branched dendritic trees extending 200-400 μm |
| Axonal projections | Extensive axonal arborizations that can span 500-800 μm, forming dense perisomatic synapses onto multiple MSNs |
| Dendritic spines | Sparse to moderate spine density on dendrites |
| NPY-immunoreactive fibers | Dense network of NPY-positive fibers creating a lattice-like pattern throughout the striatum |
| Neuropeptide Y | A 36-amino acid peptide belonging to the pancreatic polypeptide family, acting as both neurotransmitter and neuromodulator |
| Somatostatin (SST) | Co-released with NPY; SST-expressing striatal interneurons are largely overlapping with NPY population |
| Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) | Most NPY striatal interneurons co-express neuronal NOS (nNOS) |
| GABA | Primary inhibitory neurotransmitter |
| Receptor expression | High expression of Y1 and Y5 NPY receptors, GABA-A receptors, and various ionotropic glutamate receptors |
| NPY | Preproneuropeptide Y gene |
| SST | Somatostatin gene |
| NOS1 | Neuronal nitric oxide synthase gene |
| PDYN | Prodynorphin gene |
| PENK | Preproenkephalin gene |
| Resting membrane potential | -65 to -75 mV |
| KG Connections | 2 knowledge graph edges |
