Opioid Receptor, delta, Rat, aa358-372, Control Peptide

The function of the delta-opioid receptors has not been determined. However, recent studies in rodents have linked delta-opioid receptor antagonists with prevention of morphine tolerance and dependence without relinquishing mu-opioid antinociception. In general, opioids modulate numerous central and peripheral processes, including pain perception, neuroendocrine secretion and the immune response. The opioid signal is transduced from receptors through G proteins to various different effectors. Subsequent to G protein activation, several effectors are known to orchestrate the opioid signal. For example, activation of opioid receptors increases phosphatidylinositol turnover, activates K+ channels and reduces adenylyl cyclase and Ca++ channel activities.\n\nControl Peptide for Opioid Receptor, delta, O7030-05\nPeptide Sequence (linear):\nSynthetic peptide:\nTACTPSDGPGGGAAA, corresponding to amino acids 358-372 of Rat Delta Opioid Receptor.\nPurity: >99% HPLC.\n100%\nForm:\nSupplied as a lyophilized powder\nMolecular Weight:\n1233D\nStorage and Stability:\nLyophilized powder may be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only.
