Product Introduction
Orexin-A, also known as hypocretin-1, is a neuropeptide produced in the hypothalamus that plays a critical role in regulating arousal, wakefulness, and appetite. It consists of 33 amino acids and interacts mainly with orexin receptors OX1R and OX2R in the brain. Orexin-A is widely used in neuroscience research related to sleep regulation, energy homeostasis, and neurodegenerative disorders such as narcolepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.

Main Functions and Benefits：

1. Promotes wakefulness and maintains normal sleep-wake cycles by activating orexin receptors in the brain.
2. Regulates appetite and energy expenditure, contributing to metabolic balance and body weight control.
3. Supports cognitive alertness and attention by modulating neurotransmitter activity in the central nervous system.
4. Used in research on sleep disorders, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Acts as a valuable biomarker and potential therapeutic target in neurological and metabolic studies.
