Opioid receptor
From Proteopedia
FunctionOpioid receptor (OpR) is a G protein-coupled receptor with opioids as ligands[1]. OpR types are classified according to the ligands which bind to them.

RelevanceNociceptin/orphanin FQ opioid receptor plays a role in the regulation of reward and motivation of substance abuse and is a target of drug abuse medication[3]. Its agonists are useful in treatment of pain, anxiety, edema and more and its antagonists are useful in pain management, depression, dementia and Parkinson disease[4]. Structural highlightsThe κ-opioid receptor has a large binding pocket[5]. Active site. Water molecules are shown as red spheres.
