Gene information for HCRTR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3062
Official gene symbolHCRTR2
Full namehypocretin (orexin) receptor 2
Aliases,OX2R,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. The encoded protein binds the hypothalamic neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B. A related gene (HCRTR1) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that selectively binds orexin A. [provided by RefSeq]
