Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** 1. **Structure and Evolution:** HCRTR2 belongs to the class A/1 rhodopsin-like receptors, characterized by a seven-transmembrane domain structure. Its evolutionary conservation suggests a conserved function across species. 2. **Signaling Pathways:** HCRTR2 is activated by its ligand, orexin (hypocretin), and triggers a cascade of downstream signaling events, including Gαq protein activation, phospholipase C activation, and calcium ion influx. 3. **Tissue Expression:** HCRTR2 is widely expressed in various tissues, including the brain, heart, kidneys, and immune cells, such as endothelial cells, lymphoid lineage restricted progenitor cells, and granulocyte monocyte progenitor cells. **Pathways and Functions:** 1. **Circadian Sleep/Wake Cycle:** HCRTR2 plays a crucial role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, with orexin acting as a wake-promoting neuropeptide. The receptor's activation leads to increased alertness and arousal. 2. **Feeding Behavior:** HCRTR2 is involved in regulating feeding behavior, with orexin promoting appetite and food intake. 3. **Locomotion:** The receptor's activation is also linked to locomotor activity, suggesting a role in regulating movement and motor function. 4. **Neurotransmission:** HCRTR2 interacts with other neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and glutamate, to modulate synaptic transmission and neuronal excitability. 5. **Immune Response:** The receptor's expression in immune cells suggests a potential role in regulating immune function and inflammation. **Clinical Significance:** 1. **Sleep Disorders:** Alterations in HCRTR2 expression or function have been implicated in sleep disorders, such as insomnia and narcolepsy. 2. **Feeding Disorders:** Abnormalities in HCRTR2 signaling have been linked to feeding disorders, including obesity and anorexia nervosa. 3. **Neurodegenerative Diseases:** The receptor's involvement in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease, highlights its potential as a therapeutic target. 4. **Cancer:** The expression of HCRTR2 in certain types of cancer, such as breast cancer, suggests a potential role in tumor progression and metastasis. In conclusion, the hypocretin receptor 2 (HCRTR2) is a multifunctional receptor that plays a critical role in regulating various physiological processes, including sleep-wake cycles, feeding behavior, and locomotion. Further research on HCRTR2 and its signaling pathways will provide valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying these processes and may lead to the development of novel therapeutic strategies for various diseases. **References:** 1. de Lecea, L., et al.
