Orexin receptor type 2 (Ox2R or OX2), also known as hypocretin receptor type 2 (HcrtR2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HCRTR2 gene.[5]

Structure

The structure of the receptor has been solved to 2.5 Å resolution as a fusion protein bound to suvorexant using lipid-mediated crystallization.[6]

Function

OX2 is a

G-protein coupled receptor expressed exclusively in the brain. It has 64% identity with OX1. OX2 binds both orexin A and orexin B neuropeptides. OX2 is involved in the central feedback mechanism that regulates feeding behaviour.[5] Mice with enhanced OX2 signaling are resistant to high-fat diet-induced obesity.[7]

This receptor is activated by

Astyanax mexicanus that reduces the sleep needs of the cavefish. [8]
