Orexin B (also known as Hypocretin-2) is a hypothalamic neuropeptide that plays a fundamental role in maintaining wakefulness, stabilizing the sleep-wake cycle, and stimulating appetite. By selectively targeting OX2 receptors in the brain, it works as a critical alertness signal, and its deficiency is directly linked to the development of narcolepsy and severe daytime sleepiness.
