Data Sheet

Background: NOP, ORL1 or OPRL1 (opioid receptor-like 1 receptor) is also known as nociceptin receptor, orphanin FQ receptor and KOR-3 (kappa 3-related opioid receptor). It is a receptor for the neuropeptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ and has a potential role in modulating a number of brain functions, including instinctive behaviors and emotions. In vivo experiments have demonstrated that nociceptin modulates a variety of biological functions including nociception, food intake, memory processes, cardiovascular and renal functions, spontaneous locomotor activity, gastrointestinal motility, anxiety and neurotransmitter release at peripheral and central sites.
