Biochem/physiol Actions

Mouse Prepro-Orexin. Several peptides associated with feeding behavior have been reported recently. Orexins (Orexin-A and Orexin-B) are a family of hypothalamic neuropeptides selectively expressed in the hypothalamus (Sakurai et al. 1998). Orexin-A and Orexin-B are derived from the same precursor (Prepro-orexin) by proteolytic cleavage. Prepro-orexin is an 130 aa peptide with a putative 33 aa secretory sequence, a hydrophobic core followed by residues with small polar side chains. The expression was detected in brain and to a small extent in testis (Sakurai et al. 1998). These neuropeptides bind and activate two closely related Orexin receptors--G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) OX1R and OX2R.
