The orexin (hypocretin) neuropeptides (A and B) both derive from a 131 residue precursor, prepro-orexin peptide (Sakurai T et al, 1999). Orexin B (Lee JH et al, 1999) binds preferentially to the orphan GPCR orexin 2 receptor (Sakurai T et al, 1998). This activated complex can transduce its signal via the Gq class of G protein. Orexin deficiency is inferred in narcolepsy and regulation of feeding behaviour.
