HCRTR2

Gene Information
  • Official Symbol: HCRTR2
  • Official Name: hypocretin receptor 2
  • Aliases and Previous Symbols: N/A
  • Entrez ID: 3062
  • UniProt: O43614
  • Interactions: BioGRID
  • PubMed articles: Open PubMed
  • OMIM: Open OMIM
Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. The encoded protein binds the hypothalamic neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B. A related gene (HCRTR1) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that selectively binds orexin A. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009].
  • UniProt Summary: Nonselective, high-affinity receptor for both orexin-A and orexin-B neuropeptides (PubMed:9491897, PubMed:26950369). Triggers an increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels in response to orexin-A binding (PubMed:9491897, PubMed:26950369). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9491897}.
