Name Orexin B (human)
Biological description

Overview

Excitatory neuropeptide at orexin receptors (Ki values are 420 and 36 nM for OX1 and OX2 receptors respectively).

Orexin-B is synthesized in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical area. Orexin B is a linear neuropeptide with 28 amino acids.

Uses and applications

Orexin B is involved in a wide range of biological functions (feeding behavior, sleep-wake cycle, energy metabolism etc.). Also shows neuroprotective activity for dopaminergic neurons in rat midbrain cultures.
