ABSTRACT Stimulation of nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) opioid receptors by the endogenous ligand nociceptin (Noc) leads to voltage‐gated Ca2+ channel inhibition or G protein inwardly rectifying K+ channel activation. One mechanism of G protein‐coupled receptor (GPCR) desensitization occurs when G protein‐coupled receptor kinases (GRK ...
