Neurons in the hypothalamus express orexin receptors that bind to neuropeptides to modulate neuronal function (1,2). The neuropeptides that bind orexin receptors include Orexin-A (hypocretin-1) and Orexin-B (hypocretin-2). Orexin-A binds with a higher affinity to HCRTR1, whereas Orexin-B binds more selectively to HCRTR2 (2). Activation of HCRTR1 by its cognate neuropeptide drives downstream signaling events regulating several cellular processes, including increases in cytoplasmic Ca levels (2,3). HCRTR1 has been linked to many behavioral processes, including wakefulness as well as migraines and mood disorders (4). The link of the orexin system to sleep and mood disorders make it a potential therapeutic target to combat insomnia, depression, anxiety, and addiction (3).  Â\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nHCRTR1; hypocretin (orexin) receptor 1; hypocretin receptor 1; Hypocretin receptor type 1; hypocretin receptor-1; orexin receptor 1; Orexin receptor type 1; orexin receptor-1; Orexin\/Hypocretin receptor type 1; Ox-1-R; Ox1-R; Ox1R\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 43-52\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46801007739049,"sku":"59242T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-59242t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
