Product Properties
Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human OXA in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human OXA and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
Post Translational Modifications
Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides.
Function
Neuropeptides that play a significant role in the regulation of food intake and sleep-wakefulness, possibly by coordinating the complex behavioral and physiologic responses of these complementary homeostatic functions. A broader role in the homeostatic regulation of energy metabolism, autonomic function, hormonal balance and the regulation of body fluids, is also suggested. Orexin-A: Binds to orexin receptors HCRTR1/OX1R and HCRTR2/OX2R with a high affinity. Stimulates food intake. Modulates pituitary luteinizing hormone secretion in an ovarian steroid-dependent manner. Orexin-B: Binds to orexin receptor HCRTR2/OX2R only. Stimulates food intake. Modulates pituitary luteinizing hormone secretion in an ovarian steroid-dependent manner.
