Rabbit anti-Human OPRD1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P41143

Target Species

Human

Target Name

OPRD1

Target Full Name

Delta-type opioid receptor

Target Function

G-protein coupled receptor that functions as receptor for endogenous enkephalins and for a subset of other opioids. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling leads to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. Inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance. Plays a role in the perception of pain and in opiate-mediated analgesia. Plays a role in developing analgesic tolerance to morphine.

Target Background

Enables G protein-coupled enkephalin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled opioid receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to hypoxia; and positive regulation of peptidyl-serine phosphorylation. Is intrinsic component of plasma membrane.
