Gene: [17q21/HCRT] hypocretin (orexin) neuropeptide precursor; [PPOX ]
EXP |
Two neuropeptides orexin A (hypocretin 1) and orexin B (hypocretin 2) are derived from the same precursor (preproorexin) by proteolytic processing. The orexin receptor 1 (GEM:01p33/HCRTR1) binds orexin A only, whereas orexin receptor 2 (GEM:06^/HCRTR2) binds both orexin A and orexin B." |
