Structure of κ-opioid receptor complex with opioid antagonist, citric acid, PEG and octadec-enoate derivative (PDB entry 4djh) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image Function Opioid 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. The μ-opioid receptor binds morphine. For more details on μ-opioid receptor see Mu Opioid Receptor Bound to a Morphinan Antagonist Kratom μ Opioid Receptors Mu Opioid Receptor Antagonists 6dde μ-opioid receptor: G protein complex The κ-opioid receptor binds opium-type ligands. For details see Student Project 3 for UMass Chemistry 423 Spring 2015. The δ-opioid receptor binds enkephalins. For details see Delta opioid receptor. The Nociceptin/orphanin FQ opioid receptor binds the heptadecapeptide orphanin[2].

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].
