epitope corresponding to amino acids 126-425 mapping at the C-terminus of Orexin R-1 of human origin
Modification Notes
The hypothalamus is essential for maintaining homeostasis by integrating the vertebrate endocrine and nervous systems, thereby controlling temperature, thrist and hunger. Orexin-A and Orexin-B (also designated hypocretins) are hypothalamic neuropeptides that are derived from a single precursor, prepro-orexin, by proteolytic processing. These peptides bind to and activate two closely related, G protein-coupled receptors, designated Orexin receptor-1 (Orexin R-1) and Orexin receptor-2 (Orexin R-2). Orexin-A protein and prepro-orexin mRNA are localized to neurons within the lateral section of the hypothalamus, designated the “feeding center”. Prepro-orexin mRNA is upregulated during fasting, suggesting that orexins may play a role in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behavior. Orexin has been shown to increase the release of GABA and glutamate from axons, a response seen as a result of most synaptic activities in the hypothalamic region.
