| UniProt functional annotation for O43613 | |||
| UniProt code: O43613. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Moderately selective excitatory receptor for orexin-A and, with a lower affinity, for orexin-B neuropeptide (PubMed:9491897, PubMed:26950369). Triggers an increase in cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels in response to orexin-A binding (PubMed:9491897, PubMed:26950369). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9491897}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9491897}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950369}. | |
| Domain: | The N-terminal region is required for orexin signaling. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950369}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The antagonists suvorexant and SB-674042 bind at the cognate neuropeptide binding site that is situated between the transmembrane helices and accessible from the extracellular side of the membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950369}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
