| NPID | NP04404 |
| Name | Orexin-A |
| Organism | Rattus norvegicus |
| NCBI Taxa ID | 10116 |
| Tissue Specificity | Produced by a small group of neurons restricted to the lateral and posterior hypothalamus and perifornical areas. Positive neurons project widely throughout the entire neuroaxis. Particularly abundant projections in the cerebral cortex, olfactory bulb, hippocampus, amygdala, septum, diagonal band of Broca, bed nucleus of the stria terminalis, thalamus, anterior and posterior hypothalamus, midbrain, brainstem, and spinal cord. Immunoreactivity reported in the enteric nervous system and pancreas. In small amount, also detected in the testis. |
