- Description
- Predicted to have neuropeptide hormone activity; type 1 hypocretin receptor binding activity; and type 2 hypocretin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including circadian sleep/wake cycle, wakefulness; multicellular organismal response to stress; and sleep. Predicted to localize to perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain; female organism; hypocretin-secreting neurons; male organism; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in narcolepsy. Orthologous to human HCRT (hypocretin neuropeptide precursor).
