Anti-delta-type Opioid Receptor, clone 4E6.2 Antibody clone 4E6.2, from mouse

Delta-type Opioid Receptor (D-OR-1), also known as DOR-1, and encoded by the gene name OPRD1/ OPRD, is a G-protein coupled receptor that functions as receptor for endogenous enkephalins and for a subset of other opioids. Binding of Delta-type Opioid Receptor with ligands 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. Delta-type Opioid Receptor signaling has been shown to lead to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. Recent studies have also demonstrated that Delta-type Opioid Receptor inhibits the neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance. Delta-type Opioid Receptor also may play a role in the perception of pain and in opiate-mediated analgesia. Additionally, it may play a role in developing analgesic tolerance to morphine, and it may form homooligomers. Delta-type Opioid Receptor interacts with GPRASP1. Delta-type Opioid Receptor is detected in oocytes (at protein level), and in brain cortex, hypothalamus, hippocampus and olfactory bulb.
