Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	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 By similarity.
Subcellular location	Rough endoplasmic reticulum By similarity. Cytoplasmic vesicle By similarity. Cell junction › synapse By similarity. Note: Associated with perikaryal rough endoplasmic reticulum as well as cytoplasmic large granular vesicles at synapses By similarity.
Post-translational modification	Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the orexin family.
