Opioid receptors are 7-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Morphine and endogenous peptides (endorphins, etc.) bind to them to produce strong analgesic and sedative effects.
Mainly 3 subtypes exist: mu, kappa, and delta, with mu receptors chiefly responsible for analgesic effects.
Main subtypes and effects
Mu (MOP) receptor: Mainly causes strong analgesia, respiratory depression, constipation, euphoria, and dependence.
Kappa (KOP) receptor: Involved in analgesia, sedation, withdrawal symptoms, or discomfort.
Delta (DOP) receptor: involved in analgesia and emotional regulation (antidepressant/anti-anxiety effects).
オピオイド受容体は、脳、脊髄、末梢神経に存在し、モルヒネや内因性ペプチド(エンドルフィン等)が結合して強力な鎮痛作用や鎮静作用を発現する、7回膜貫通型Gタンパク質共役型受容体(GPCR)です。
主にミュー、カッパ、デルタの3つのサブタイプが存在し、特にミュー受容体が鎮痛効果の主座を担います。
主なサブタイプと作用
ミュー(MOP)受容体: 主に強力な鎮痛作用、呼吸抑制、便秘、多幸感、依存性を引き起こす。
カッパ(KOP)受容体: 鎮痛、鎮静、離脱症状、あるいは不快感に関与する。
デルタ(DOP)受容体: 鎮痛、情動調節(抗うつ・抗不安作用)に関与する。
