Synthetic peptide, 18aa, amino terminus of murine Orexin A. Hypothalamic neuropeptides associated with feeding behavior, binding and activating two closely related Orexin receptors—G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) OX1R and OX2R. Recognizes the full-length (1-33 aa) Orexin-A. The epitope is not found in Orexin B. Since Orexin A and Orexin B are derived from an unprocessed pre-pro-orexin (130 aa), anti-Orexin A antibodies may also react with prepro orexins. Antibody crossreactivity in various species is not established, although murine Orexin A peptide is 100% homologous in mouse, rat, and human.

Applications: Suitable for use as a control in ELISA and antibody blocking.
