Product Description

Like orexin A (Prod. No. ALX-164-001), orexin B is a hypothalamatic neuropeptide stimulating food intake in rats. Stimulates food consumption in a similar manner to orexin A, but the effect did not last as long as that of orexin A. The affinity of orexin B for the OX₁ receptor is significantly lower than that of orexin A. Binding affinities for the OX₂ receptor are similar for orexin A and B.
