Function |
Nociceptin is the ligand of the opioid receptor-like receptor (OPRL1). It may act as a transmitter in the brain by modulating nociceptive and locomotor behavior. May be involved in neuronal differentiation and development (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Secreted.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Predominantly expressed in the brain and spinal cord. Also expressed and secreted by peripheral blood neutrophils following degranulation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12950177}.
