Description：Peptide to Orexin A, Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine, Canine, Ovine, PorcineForm：Lyophilized powderAlternative Names：Hypocretin-1 (human, bovine, canine, mouse, ovine, porcine, rat) CAS Number：205640-90-0Molecular Formula：C152H247N47O44S4Molecular Weight：3565.14Purity：> 95%Chemical Structure：pGlu-Pro-Leu-Pro-Asp-Cys-Cys-Arg-Gln-Lys-Thr-Cys-Ser-Cys-Arg-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Leu-Leu-His-Gly-Ala-Gly-Asn-His-Ala-Ala-Gly-Ile-Leu-Thr-Leu-NH2 (Disulfide bridge Cys6-Cys12, Cys7-Cys14)Application：Orexin A (hypocretin-1) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide regulating the feeding behavior. Central administration of orexin A to rats stimulated food consumption in a dose-dependent manner. The effect persisted at 4 h after injection, as orexin A seems to be resistant to peptidases. Orexin A specifically binds a G protein-coupled receptor, OX₁R (IC₅₀ = 20 nM to displace 50 % of radiolabeled orexin A bound to this receptor). Orexin A produced in the amygdala induces wakefulness and plays a role in the induction of human emotions. Narcolepsy has been associated with orexin deficiency.Storage/Stability：Shipped at 4°C. Store at -20°C for one year.
