OGFr

Opioid growth factor receptor, also known as OGFr or the ΞΆ-opioid receptor, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the OGFR gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor for opioid growth factor (OGF), also known as [[Met-enkephalin|[Met(5)]-enkephalin]]. The endogenous ligand is thus a known opioid peptide, and OGFr was originally discovered and named as a new opioid receptor zeta . However it was subsequently found that it shares little sequence similarity with the other opioid receptors, and has quite different function.
