Background: The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. The encoded protein selectively binds the hypothalamic neuropeptide orexin A. A related gene (HCRTR2) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that binds orexin A and orexin B.

Description: Recombinant Human HCRTR1 Protein with C-terminal human Fc tag
Molecular Weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 31.5 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of HCRTR1-hFc is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.
Storage & Shipping: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
