| Bioactivity | Orexin A (Hypocretin-1) (human, rat, mouse) acetate is a hypothalamic neuropeptide with analgesic properties (crosses the blood-brain barrier). Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate is also an OX1R agonist that induces the expression of BDNF and TH proteins in SH-SY5Y cells in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate can be used in studies of appetite regulation, neurodegenerative diseases and modulation of injurious messaging[1][2][3]. |
| Invitro | Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate (0.1, 1, 10, 100 nM; 24 h) increases the expression of BDNF in SH-SY5Y human dopaminergic neuroblastoma cells in a dose-dependent manner[1].Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) acetate (1 nM; 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h) increases the expression of BDNF, TH, and PI3K in a time-dependent manner in SH-SY5Y cells[1].
