{"symbol":"HCRTR2","synonyms":["OX2R"],"name":"hypocretin (orexin) receptor 2","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. The encoded protein binds the hypothalamic neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B. A related gene (HCRTR1) encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that selectively binds orexin A.
