Ref. 3D-POR-4483-S

Product Information

• Name: [Ala11, D-Leu15]-Orexin B (Human)
• Synonyms: Arg-Ser-Gly-Pro-Pro-Gly-Leu-Gln-Gly-Arg-Ala-Gln-Arg-Leu-D-Leu-Gln-Ala-Ser-Gly-Asn-His-Ala-Ala-Gly-Ile-Leu-Thr-Met-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Orexin B is a peptide that belongs to the orexin family and is used in research. It has been shown to bind to orexin receptors, which are G-protein coupled receptors. Orexin B activates these receptors and is an activator of Ligand-gated ion channels such as NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors. It also binds with high affinity to the human M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor and inhibits Ca2+ currents in neuronal cells. Orexin B is also a ligand for the L1 class of immunoglobulin superfamily cell adhesion molecules, which are involved in cell biology.
