NOP Receptors
The NOP receptor, (also known as ORL1, N/OFQ receptor), is a member of the opioid family of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes κ, δ and μ receptors. The human gene encoding the NOP receptor has been localized to chromosome 20 (20q13.33).

The NOP receptor, (also known as ORL1, N/OFQ receptor), is a member of the opioid family of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes κ, δ and μ receptors. NOP receptor mRNA is found in high levels in the cortex, anterior olfactory nucleus, lateral septum, hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, central grey, pontine nuclei, interpeduncular nucleus, substantia nigra, raphe complex, locus coeruleus and spinal cord.
The pattern of NOP receptor distribution suggests the involvement of the NOP receptor in motor and balance control, reinforcement and reward, nociception, the stress response, sexual behavior, aggression and autonomic control of physiological processes. The human gene encoding the NOP receptor has been localized to chromosome 20 (20q13.33).
