Orexin B, also known as hypocretin-2, is a neuropeptide that plays a crucial role in regulating arousal, wakefulness, and appetite. It is one of two orexin peptides, the other being Orexin A, and is produced in the hypothalamus. Orexin B is composed of a sequence of amino acids and is characterized by its ability to bind to orexin receptors, specifically OX1R and OX2R, which are G protein-coupled receptors. This binding initiates various physiological responses, including the promotion of wakefulness and the modulation of energy balance. Orexin B is involved in several biological processes, including sleep regulation, feeding behavior, and the reward system. Dysregulation of orexin signaling has been implicated in sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, and metabolic conditions. The CAS number 205599-76-4 uniquely identifies this peptide in chemical databases, facilitating research and development in pharmacology and neuroscience. Overall, Orexin B is a significant molecule in understanding the neurobiological mechanisms underlying sleep and appetite regulation.
