| UniProt code: P41143. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | G-protein coupled receptor that functions as receptor for endogenous enkephalins and for a subset of other opioids. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase. Signaling leads to the inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity. Inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance. Plays a role in the perception of pain and in opiate-mediated analgesia. Plays a role in developing analgesic tolerance to morphine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22184124, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7808419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8201839}. | |
| Subunit: | May form homooligomers. Forms a heterodimer with OPRM1 (By similarity). Interacts with GPRASP1 (PubMed:12142540, PubMed:15086532). Interacts with RTP4; the interaction promotes cell surface localization of the OPRD1-OPRM1 heterodimer (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P32300, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12142540, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15086532, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22184124}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22184124, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7808419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8201839}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22184124, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7808419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8201839}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Detected in oocytes (at protein level). Detected in brain cortex, hypothalamus, hippocampus and olfactory bulb. Detected in oocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22417668, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7808419}. | |
| Ptm: | N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22184124}. | |
| Ptm: | Ubiquitinated. A basal ubiquitination seems not to be related to degradation. Ubiquitination is increased upon formation of OPRM1:OPRD1 oligomers leading to proteasomal degradation; the ubiquitination is diminished by RTP4. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P32300}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
