---|---|
Entrez Gene | 3060 |
Alt Symbol | NRCLP1, OX, PPOX |
Species | Human |
Gene Type | protein-coding |
Description | hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptide precursor |
Other Description | orexin|prepro-orexin |
Swissprots | O43612 |
Accessions | AAD24459 EAW60810 O43612 AF041240 AAC39600 BC111915 AAI11916 NM_001524 NP_001515 |
Function | Neuropeptides that play a significant role in the regulation of food intake and sleep-wakefulness, possibly by coordinating the complex behavioral and physiologic responses of these complementary homeostatic functions. A broader role in the homeostatic regulation of energy metabolism, autonomic function, hormonal balance and the regulation of body fluids, is also suggested. Orexin-A binds to both OX1R and OX2R with a high affinity, whereas orexin-B binds only to OX2R with a similar high affinity. |
Subcellular Location | Rough endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Note=Associated with perikaryal rough endoplasmic reticulum as well as cytoplasmic large granular vesicles at synapses. {ECO:0000250}. |
Tissue Specificity | Abundantly expressed in subthalamic nucleus but undetectable in other brain regions tested (hypothalamus was not tested) and in heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. |
