Gene name

HCRTR2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

OX2R

Description

Hypocretin (orexin) receptor 2 (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

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]
