- Description: Orexin is a neuropeptide distributed widely among vertebrates. In mammals, orexin and its receptor system are involved in the regulation of food intake, locomotion, and psychomotor activities including the sleep/wakefulness cycle. With regard to non-mammalian vertebrates, there has also been intensive study aimed at the identification and functional characterisation of orexin and its receptor, and recent investigations of the role of orexin have revealed that it exerts behavioral effects in teleost fish. Orexin gene expression in the brain is highly restricted to distinct populations of neurons located in specific hypothalamic regions, including the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA), a region implicated in feeding behaviour. Fish orexin is a health marker which can be used to monitor fish stock food intake and body weight.
- Immunogen: Ovalbumin-conjugated synthetic peptide. Peptide immunogen is conserved across all fish species.
