Sigma Receptor

Sigma receptors (subtypes sigma-1 and sigma-2) are a unique class of binding sites expressed throughout the mammalian body. The endogenous ligand for these sites has not been identified, but steroid hormones (particularly progesterone), sphingolipid-derived amines and N,N-dimethyltryptamine can bind with fairly high affinity.

The sigma-1 receptor (σ1R) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-resident chaperone protein that acts like an inter-organelle signaling modulator. It participates in many biological processes including nociception, cancer, stroke, memory, drug addiction, cardiac activity, and Alzheimer’s disease. The sigma-2 (σ2R) receptor is overexpressed in various human tumors. It has been validated as a biomarker for proliferating tumors.

    OXA(17-33)
    Activator
    OXA (17-33) (Orexin A (17-33) (human, mouse, rat, bovine)) is the shortest active orexin peptide that selectively targets OX1 (EC50=8.29 nM), with 23-fold selectivity for the OX1 receptor over the OX2 receptor. The activity of OXA (17-33) depends on the Tyr17, Leu20, Asn25, His26 residues and the spatial conformation of the α-helix. OXA (17-33) activates signaling pathways involving inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (IP3R), phospholipase D (PL-D) and choline-Sigma-1R, thereby increasing the cytoplasmic Ca2+ level in nucleus accumbens neurons, an effect that is blocked by Sigma-1R antagonists. OXA (17-33) serves as an important biological probe for investigating the function of the OX1 receptor. OXA (17-33) can be modified via incorporation of mixed disulfide bonds of homocysteine and cysteamine, and is widely used in studies related to insomnia and narcolepsy.
