Two hypothalamus peptides {orexin} {hypocretin}| can come from preprohypocretin and bind to lateral-hypothalamus receptors. They increase appetite and cause arousal. Hypocretin mutations can cause mammalian narcolepsy. Normal hypocretin is in Golgi organs, and mutated hypocretin is in smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
