General description

Opioid peptides are endogenous neuromodulators that play a major role in nociception by interacting with several membrane receptors. Molecular cloning techniques have characterized the nucleotide sequence of several distinct opioid receptors, including the δ-, κ- and μ-opioid receptors.1 The cloned receptors are highly homologous (65%), differing only at the N- and C-termini and at the extracelluar loops that confer binding specificity. All three receptors interact with heterotrimeric G proteins.
δ-Opioid receptors (DOR) are located postsynaptically on pallidostriatal feedback neurons. DORs also modulate nociception presynaptically in the periaqueductal gray where immunolabeling of DOR has been shown to be intracellular and often associated with large dense-core vesicles. Additionally, receptor autoradiographic investigations have localized DORs to the external plexiform layer of the olfactory bulb, the nucleus accumbens, several layers of the cerebral cortex and several nuclei of the amygdala.

Although pharmacological data provide strong evidence for different types of opioid receptors (e.g., mu, delta, and kappa), they share many common properties in their ability to couple to second messenger systems. All opioid receptor types are coupled to G-proteins, since

Parallel studies have demonstrated that enkephalin release from nerve terminals in the pallidum (globus pallidus and ventral pallidum) can be modulated by locally applied opioid drugs. To investigate further the mechanisms underlying these opioid effects, the present study examined the

Since the discovery of opioid receptors over two decades ago, an increasing body of work has emerged supporting the concept of multiple opioid receptors. Molecular cloning has identified three opioid receptor types--mu, delta, and kappa--confirming pharmacological studies that previously postulated
