Research Applications

Orexin-B (hypocretin-2) binds with higher affinity to OX2R than OX1R, providing a tool for dissecting orexin receptor-subtype functions.
OX2R-mediated signaling is implicated in wakefulness regulation, as OX2R loss causes narcolepsy in canine models.
Used in feeding studies to examine orexinergic control of food intake and energy homeostasis.
Investigations of orexin-B interactions with dopaminergic and noradrenergic systems inform research on arousal and motivation.
