Gene Name: hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptide precursor
Symbol:
Species: 1000
Description: This gene encodes a hypothalamic neuropeptide precusor protein that gives rise to two mature neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B, by proteolytic processing. Orexin A and orexin B, which bind to orphan G-protein coupled receptors HCRTR1 and HCRTR2, function in the regulation of sleep and arousal. This neuropeptide arrangement may also play a role in feeding behavior, metabolism, and homeostasis.
