HCRTR2 Gene (Protein Coding)

Hypocretin Receptor 2

GC06P055106
GIFtS:
45
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] See more...

GeneCards Summary for HCRTR2 Gene

HCRTR2 (Hypocretin Receptor 2) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with HCRTR2 include Cluster Headache and Sleep Disorder. Among its related pathways are Peptide ligand-binding receptors and RET signaling. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include G protein-coupled receptor activity and peptide hormone binding. An important paralog of this gene is HCRTR1.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Summary for HCRTR2 Gene

  • 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).

Tocris Summary for HCRTR2 Gene

  • The OX2 receptors, also known as hypocretin receptor 2, are located primarily in the cerebral cortex, paraventricular hypothalamus, nucleus accumbens, subthalamic and paraventricular thalamus where they are thought to regulate sleep-wakefulness.
