Orexin B, Mouse/Rat

Mouse/rat Orexin B is the rodent 28-residue amidated orexin-2 ligand. Species-specific substitutions distinguish it from human Orexin B and make it appropriate for rodent receptor and sleep/arousal studies.

• neuropeptide receptor pharmacology
• GPCR and cell-signaling research
• neuroscience and behavioral studies
• peptide structure-activity analysis

Species, terminal amidation, D-amino-acid configuration, disulfide connectivity and affinity labels are part of the exact reagent identity and should be preserved when comparing published assays.
