Scope note: Proteínas de la membrana celular que se unen a los opioides y que desencadenan cambios intracelulares que influyen en el comportamiento celular. Los ligandos endógenos para los receptores opioides en mamíferos incluyen tres familias de péptidos, las encefalinas, las endorfinas y las dinorfinas. Este tipo de receptores incluye receptores mu, delta, y kappa. Los receptores sigma se unen a diversas sustancias psicoactivas, incluidos ciertos opioides, pero sus ligandos endógenos no se conocen.

Scope note: Cell membrane proteins that bind opioids and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The endogenous ligands for opioid receptors in mammals include three families of peptides, the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The receptor classes include mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Sigma receptors bind several psychoactive substances, including certain opioids, but their endogenous ligands are not known.
