Opioid and cannabinoid receptors
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1994 Opioids and cannabinoids are two major classes of drugs with important clinical uses as well as significant side effects. Recently, the three major subtypes of opioid receptors, delta, kappa and mu, have been cloned. Both the endogenous cannabinoids and their receptors have also recently been cloned.

Opioid receptors in GtoPdb v.2021.3 [PDF]
, 2021 Opioid and opioid-like receptors are activated by a variety of endogenous peptides including [Met]enkephalin (met), [Leu]enkephalin (leu), β-endorphin (β-end), α-neodynorphin, dynorphin A (dynA), dynorphin B (dynB), big dynorphin (Big dyn),

Delta opioid receptors regulate temporoammonic-activated feedforward inhibition to the mouse CA1 hippocampus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The opioid system influences learning and memory processes. However, neural mechanisms underlying the modulation of hippocampal activity by opioid receptors remain largely unknown. Here, we compared how mu and delta receptors operate within the mouse CA1

The Role of Opioids on Motor Activity in Physio-pathological Conditions [PDF]
, 2009 To date, four principal classes of opioid peptide receptors, μ (MOP), κ (KOP), δ (DOP) and ORL- 1 (NOP) have been identified and cloned. The experimental and clinical importance of this receptor family has been amply demonstrated in many diseases ...

Butorphanol: Effects of a Prototypical Agonist-Antagonist Analgesic on κ-Opioid Receptors
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005 The opioid analgesic, butorphanol (17-cyclobutylmethyl-3,14-dihydroxymorphinan) tartrate is a prototypical agonist-antagonist opioid analgesic agent whose potential for abuse has been the cause of litigation in the United States.

The role of the μ-opioid receptors in the mechanism of ethanol-stimulated mesolimbic dopamine release [PDF]
, 2009 textThe goal of this dissertation was to investigate the role of μ-opioid receptors in the mechanism of ethanol-stimulated dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens shell (NAcS) of rats.

A Survey of Molecular Imaging of Opioid Receptors [PDF]
, 2019 The discovery of endogenous peptide ligands for morphine binding sites occurred in parallel with the identification of three subclasses of opioid receptor (OR), traditionally designated as μ, δ, and κ, along with the more recently defined opioid-receptor-

Stress-evoked opioid release inhibits pain in major depressive disorder [PDF]
, 2008 To determine whether stress-evoked release of endogenous opioids might account for hypoalgesia in major depressive disorder (MDD), the μ-opioid antagonist naltrexone (50 mg) or placebo was administered double-blind to 24 participants with MDD and to 31 ...
