Protein annotations

Protein functions:

1: Ligand of the opioid receptor-like receptor OPRL1. It may act as a transmitter in the brain by modulating nociceptive and locomotor behavior. May be involved in neuronal differentiation and development

2: Blocks nociceptin action in pain transmission by inhibiting nociceptin-induced hyperalgesia and allodynia

3: Has potent analgesic activity
