Difference between Endorphins and Opioid receptor

Endorphins vs. Opioid receptor

Endorphins (contracted from "endogenous morphine") are endogenous opioid neuropeptides and peptide hormones in humans and other animals. Opioid receptors are a group of inhibitory G protein-coupled receptors with opioids as ligands.

Similarities between Endorphins and Opioid receptor

Endorphins and Opioid receptor have 11 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Brain, Endogeny (biology), Enkephalin, Euphoria, Morphine, Naloxone, Naltrexone, Opioid, Opioid peptide, Solomon H. Snyder.

Agonist

An agonist is a chemical that binds to a receptor and activates the receptor to produce a biological response.

Opioid

Opioids are substances that act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects.

Opioid peptide

Opioid peptides are peptides that bind to opioid receptors in the brain; opiates and opioids mimic the effect of these peptides.
