Product name:Human Orexin receptor 1 ELISA Kit
Description:
Orexins A and B are hypothalamic peptides derived from a precursor called preproorexin, that act on G protein coupled receptors named Orexin Receptor 1 (OX1R) and Orexin Receptor 2 (OX2R), respectively. Orexins control feeding and may also be involved in modulating sleep-wake cycles and other hypothalamic functions.
Orexin receptor antagonists are currently in clinical trials for use in the treatment of insomnia.
