Biological Activity
|
OX2 Receptor |
OX2 receptor is indeed a high-affinity receptor for human orexin B, with an IC50 of 36 nM in the binding assay and an EC50 of 60 nM in the [Ca2+]i transient assay. Human Orexin B has significantly lower affinity for the human OX1: the calculated IC50 in the competitive binding assay and the EC50 in the [Ca2+]i transient assay are 420 nM and 2500 nM for human orexin-B, respectively[2].

Protocol
Rats[2]
3 nM and 30 nM of synthetic human Orexin B is administered in a 5 mL bolus through a catheter placed in the left lateral ventricle of Male Wistar rats (180–200 g) in early light phase. Cumulative food consumption is observed and plotted over the period of 4 hr after injection[2].
