This study was undertaken to examine the presence of functional nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) receptors in the immune system. Receptor mRNA signals were detected by RT-PCR in porcine thymus, lymph nodes, spleen and freshly-isolated splenocytes; the distribution of prepro-nociceptin/-orphanin FQ (PP-N/-OFQ) mRNA was similar, with the exception of lymph nodes. However, specific [ 3 H]nociceptin...
Orphanin FQ/nociceptin (OFQ/N) has been immunohistochemically localized in the rat enteric nervous system, and mRNA signals for its precursor (i.e. prepro-OFQ/-N) and cognate receptor ORL-1 are expressed in the intestinal tract. OFQ/N inhibits neurogenic contractions in a variety of stomach and small intestine preparations in vitro, but contracts rodent colon. In vivo, it acts at peripheral and central...
