products description :
Background: This Quantitative Sandwich ELISA kit is only for in vitro research use only, not for drug, household, therapeutic or diagnostic applications! This kit is intended to be used for determination the level of OX-B (hereafter termed "analyte") in undiluted original Rat body fluids, tissue homogenates, secretions or feces samples. This kit is NOT suitable for assaying non-biological sources of substances.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a hypothalamic neuropeptide precursor protein that gives rise to two mature neuropeptides, orexin A and orexin B, by proteolytic processing. Orexin A and orexin B, which bind to orphan G-protein coupled receptors HCRTR1 and HCRTR2, function in the regulation of sleep and arousal. This neuropeptide arrangement may also play a role in feeding behavior, metabolism, and homeostasis. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
uniprot summary :
HCRT: Neuropeptides that play a significant role in the regulation of food intake and sleep-wakefulness, possibly by coordinating the complex behavioral and physiologic responses of these complementary homeostatic functions. A broader role in the homeostatic regulation of energy metabolism, autonomic function, hormonal balance and the regulation of body fluids, is also suggested. Orexin-A binds to both OX1R and OX2R with a high affinity, whereas orexin-B binds only to OX2R with a similar high affinity. Defects in HCRT are the cause of narcolepsy type 1 (NRCLP1). Narcolepsy is a neurological disabling sleep disorder, characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep fragmentation, symptoms of abnormal rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, such as cataplexy, hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. Cataplexy is a sudden loss of muscle tone triggered by emotions, which is the most valuable clinical feature used to diagnose narcolepsy. Human narcolepsy is primarily a sporadically occurring disorder but familial clustering has been observed. Human narcolepsy is associated with a deficient orexin system. Orexins are absent and/or greatly diminished in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of most narcoleptic patients. Belongs to the orexin family. Protein type: Hormone. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21. Cellular Component: synaptic vesicle; rough endoplasmic reticulum; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; extracellular region; cell junction; secretory granule. Molecular Function: type 2 hypocretin receptor binding; type 1 hypocretin receptor binding. Biological Process: eating behavior; negative regulation of potassium ion transport; regulation of neurotransmitter secretion; synaptic transmission; elevation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration; negative regulation of transmission of nerve impulse; negative regulation of DNA replication; neuropeptide signaling pathway; protein kinase C activation; G-protein signaling, coupled to IP3 second messenger (phospholipase C activating); regulation of excitatory postsynaptic membrane potential; positive regulation of calcium ion transport; positive regulation of transmission of nerve impulse. Disease: Narcolepsy 1
