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.
