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}.
