Biological Activity
| Targets | Ki: 420 nM (OX1), 36 nM (OX2)[1]. |
| ln Vitro | Orexin B is produced by prepro-orexin, a precursor of proteolytic amino acids that is encoded by a gene found on human chromosome 17q21. Orexin B has been shown to have a greater affinity for the OX2 receptor in radioligand binding studies[1]. When comparing the human orexin B sequence to the rat sequence, two amino acid substitutions are present. With an EC50 of 60 nM in the [Ca2+]i transient experiment and an IC50 of 36 nM in the binding assay, the OX2 receptor is in fact a high-affinity receptor for human orexin B. The computed IC50 in the competitive binding test and the EC50 in the [Ca2+]i transient experiment for human orexin-B are 420 nM and 2500 nM, respectively[2]. This indicates that human Orexin B has a much lower affinity for human OX1. |
| ln Vivo | Human orexin B dramatically increases food intake; at the 2-hour mark, 3 nM and 30 nM of orexin-B, respectively, were shown to stimulate food consumption 5- and 12-fold, respectively[2]. |
| Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male Wistar rats (180 -200 g)[2]. Doses: 3 nM and 30 nM. Route of Administration: Administered in a 5 mL bolus through a catheter placed in the left lateral ventricle in early light phase. Experimental Results: Dramatically augmented food intake. |

| Additional Infomation | The hypothalamus plays a central role in the integrated control of feeding and energy homeostasis. We have identified two novel neuropeptides, both derived from the same precursor by proteolytic processing, that bind and activate two closely related (previously) orphan G protein-coupled receptors. These peptides, termed orexin-A and -B, have no significant structural similarities to known families of regulatory peptides. prepro-orexin mRNA and immunoreactive orexin-A are localized in neurons within and around the lateral and posterior hypothalamus in the adult rat brain. When administered centrally to rats, these peptides stimulate food consumption. prepro-orexin mRNA level is up-regulated upon fasting, suggesting a physiological role for the peptides as mediators in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behavior.[2] |

InvivoChem strongly recommends customers to read literature methods/protocols carefully before determining which formulation you should use for in vivo studies, as different compounds have different solubility properties and have to be formulated differently.  (Please use freshly prepared in vivo formulations for optimal results.) |
