| UniProt code: P41146. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | G-protein coupled opioid receptor that functions as receptor for the endogenous neuropeptide nociceptin. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide- binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling via G proteins mediates inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity and calcium channel activity. Arrestins modulate signaling via G proteins and mediate the activation of alternative signaling pathways that lead to the activation of MAP kinases. Plays a role in modulating nociception and the perception of pain. Plays a role in the regulation of locomotor activity by the neuropeptide nociceptin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11238602, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12568343, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22596163, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23086955, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8137918}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Note=Ligand binding leads to receptor internalization into cytoplasmic vesicles, decreasing the amount of available receptor at the cell surface. Internalization requires phosphorylation at Ser-363. Can recycle to the cell membrane. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Detected in blood leukocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7500847}. | |
| Induction: | By phytohemagglutinin (PHA). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7500847}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylation at Ser-363 requires GRK3. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23086955}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
