Orexin B, canine

Orexin B (canine) is a synthetic peptide representing the canine isoform of orexin B (also known as hypocretin 2). This high-purity, 28-amino acid neuropeptide is co-expressed with orexin A from the same precursor protein. It serves as a specific endogenous agonist for orexin receptors (OX1R and OX2R) and is a crucial research tool for studying sleep-wake regulation, energy homeostasis, and neurophysiology in canine models.

1.MECHANISM OF ACTION

Orexin B exerts its effects by binding to and activating two G protein-coupled receptors, orexin receptor 1 (OX1R) and orexin receptor 2 (OX2R). It has a higher binding affinity for OX2R and is a potent, equipotent agonist for both receptors. Upon receptor activation, it primarily triggers Gq-mediated signaling, leading to phospholipase C (PLC) activation, inositol trisphosphate (IP₃) production, and intracellular calcium mobilization.

2.PRODUCT INDICATIONS

This product is indicated for in vitro and in vivo research using canine systems, as well as for comparative neurobiological studies. Key applications include: investigating the specific roles of OX2R and dual orexin receptor signaling in sleep/wake disorders and narcolepsy in dogs, studying energy balance and metabolic regulation, exploring cardiovascular and autonomic control, and serving as a species-specific reference agonist in receptor binding and functional assays (e.g., calcium flux) for orexin receptor pharmacology.

3.CLINICAL EFFICACY OF PRODUCT

Orexin B (canine) is a research-grade peptide, not a veterinary therapeutic. Its efficacy is demonstrated in its critical role in foundational research. Studies in dogs using this peptide have been instrumental in understanding the orexin system's role in maintaining wakefulness, as canine narcolepsy is a naturally occurring model linked to orexin pathway dysfunction.
