About Orexin A
- Molecular weight
- 3561.1 g/mol
- CAS number
- 205640-90-0
Orexin A (hypocretin-1) is a 33-residue hypothalamic neuropeptide stabilised by an N-terminal pyroglutamate and two intramolecular disulfide bridges, so it has no plain single-letter sequence. It is studied as an agonist at the orexin OX1 and OX2 receptors in arousal- and feeding-signalling models.
For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.
