The physiological role of orexins.

Martynska L, Wolinska-Witort E, Chmielowska M, Bik W, Baranowska B.

Journal Article 2005; 26(4): 289-292 PubMed PMID: 16135995 Keywords: Animals, Appetite:physiology, Humans, Intracellular Signaling Peptides and Proteins:physiology, Narcolepsy:physiopathology, Neuropeptides:physiology, Neurosecretory Systems:physiology, Orexins, Sleep:physiology, Wakefulness:physiology,.

: Orexins/hypocretins are recently discovered neuropeptides synthetized mainly by neurons located in the posterolateral hypothalamus. Hypocretin-1 and -2 are the same peptides as orexin-A and orexin-B. Orexin A is a 33 amino acid peptide with N-terminal pyroglutamyl residue and two intrachain disulphide bonds. Orexin B is a linear pepti.....
