Background
Enables neuropeptide hormone activity; type 1 orexin receptor binding activity; and type 2 orexin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including excitatory postsynaptic potential; regulation of metal ion transport; and regulation of transmission of nerve impulse. Located in secretory granule. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle lumen. Biomarker of hyperglycemia; obesity; and sleeping sickness. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in heroin dependence and narcolepsy. Orthologous to human HCRT (hypocretin neuropeptide precursor).
