orphanin fq

Nociceptin (Orphanin FQ) is a 17-amino-acid polypeptide that is structurally related to the opioid peptide dynorphin A.

Orphanin FQ(1-11) TFA, a fragment of orphanin FQ or nociceptin (OFQ N), acts as a powerful NOP receptor (ORL-1; OP4) agonist with a K i of 55 nM. It lacks affinity for μ, δ, κ1, and κ3 receptors (K i >1000 nM), demonstrating specificity, and exhibits analgesic properties in CD-1 mice [1] [2].

Orphanin FQ(1-11) is a peptide fragment containing amino acids 1-11 of Nociceptin. Orphanin FQ(1-11) is a potent agonist of the ORL1 KOR-3 receptor (Ki = 55 nM) and displays no affinity for opioid receptors, including μ, δ, κ1 and κ3 receptors (Ki >1000 nM). Orphanin FQ(1-11) displays analgesic properties in CD-1 mice.

Orphanin FQ(1-11) acetate(178249-41-7 free base) is a peptide fragment containing amino acids 1-11 of Nociceptin. Orphanin FQ(1-11) acetate(178249-41-7 free base) is a potent agonist of the ORL1 KOR-3 receptor (Ki = 55 nM) and displays no affinity for opioid receptors, including μ, δ, κ1 and κ3 receptors (Ki >1000 nM). Orphanin FQ(1-11) acetate(178249-41-7 free base) displays analgesic properties in CD-1 mice.

Ac-RYYRIK-NH2 TFA acts as both a potent partial agonist for ORL1 when transfected in CHO cells (K d = 1.5 nM) and an endogenous ligand of ORL1. Moreover, it serves as a specific antagonist that inhibits G protein activation and competitively blocks the stimulation of [35S]-GTPγS binding to G proteins by nociceptin orphanin FQ (noc OFQ) in rat brain membranes and sections [1].

[Nphe1]Nociceptin(1-13)NH2 is a novel endogenous ligand for the nociceptin orphanin FQ (NC) receptor, acting as a selective and competitive antagonist without any agonist effects. It binds specifically to recombinant nociceptin receptors with high affinity (pKi=8.4) and effectively blocks nociceptin's ability to inhibit cyclic AMP accumulation in CHO cells (pA2=6.0), showcasing potential as an analgesic agent.

Nocistatin, an endogenous neuropeptide, serves as a ligand for the orphan opioid receptor-like receptor and functionally antagonizes the neuropeptide nociceptin orphanin FQ (Noc OFQ). It inhibits 5-HT release through a G i o protein-mediated pathway and blocks nociceptin-induced allodynia and hyperalgesia [1] [2].

Highly potent and selective nociceptin/orphanin FQ receptor (OP4) agonist peptide (pKi = 10.68; pEC50 = 9.80). Displays > 8000-fold selectivity over δ, κ, and μ opioid receptors and has relatively long lasting pronociceptive, hypotensive, negative inotrop

Ac-RYYRIK-NH2 acetate is an agonist at nociceptin orphanin FQ(noc OFQ) receptors, affecting spontaneous locomotor activity. Ac-RYYRIK-NH2 acetate is a partial agonist on ORL1 transfected in CHO cells, antagonizes the stimulation of [35S]-GTPgammaS binding to G proteins by noc OFQ in membranes and sections of rat brain.
