SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the regulation of feeding behaviour
  • couple to adenylyl cyclase regulation via multiple mechanisms
  • orexin system modulates likely the formation and expression of fear memory via HCRTR1 in multiple pathways
  • endogenous hypocretins acting on the HCRTR1 are required for the normal neural activity in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and thus might directly contribute cortical arousal and mPFC-dependent cognitive processes

    protein
  • selectively binds the orexin A neuropeptide
  • activation of HCRTR1 was found to attenuate agonist-activated OPRK1-mediated inhibition of cAMP production
  • role of MRAP2 in the regulation of the orexin receptor 1 (HCRTR1)

    miscelleaneoussleep 
    in contrast to GABA receptor agonists which induce sleep by generalized inhibition, HCRTR1 antagonists seem to facilitate sleep by reducing waking "drive"
