Summary

Orexin activates the mTOR pathway in the mouse brain and multiple cell lines expressing OX1R or OX2R via calcium-stimulated lysosome v-ATPase pathway, suggesting that the m TORC1 pathway functions downstream of orexin/GPCR signaling, which plays a crucial role in many physiological and metabolic processes.
