OX1 Receptors
The OX1 receptors, also known as hypocretin receptor 1, are located primarily in the ventromedial hypothalamus, locus coeruleus, median raphe, hippocampus and taenia tecta where they are thought to regulate sleep-wakefulness and energy homeostasis, particularly food intake.

The OX1 receptors, also known as hypocretin receptor 1, are located primarily in the ventromedial hypothalamus, locus coeruleus, median raphe, hippocampus and taenia tecta where they are thought to regulate sleep-wakefulness and energy homeostasis. The OX1 receptor displays higher affinity for Orexin A over Orexin B. The human OX1 receptor gene has been localized to chromosome 1 (1p33).
