Tissue Specificity | Found in cerebellum and frontal cortex. Detected at high levels in hippocampus, amygdala and trachea.at moderate levels in fetal brain, pituitary gland and prostate. Not in caudate, accumbens, kidney or liver. Also detected at high levels in lung carcinoma. |
Function | Interacts specifically with a number of opioid ligands. Receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals. Has a higher affinity for neuropeptide B. |
