Orexin Receptors
"Orexin Receptors" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
G protein-coupled NEUROPEPTIDE RECEPTORS. These proteins have 7-transmembrane domains and are highly conserved across mammals, with 94% amino acid sequence overlap between humans and rats. Orexin-A and -B or hypocretin-1 and -2 neuropeptides produced in the lateral HYPOTHALAMUS promote arousal or wakefulness through orexin receptors.
