Difference between Opioid receptor and Periaqueductal gray

Opioid receptor vs. Periaqueductal gray

Opioid receptors are a group of inhibitory G protein-coupled receptors with opioids as ligands. The periaqueductal gray (PAG, also known as the central gray) is the primary control center for descending pain modulation.

Similarities between Opioid receptor and Periaqueductal gray

Opioid receptor and Periaqueductal gray have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Analgesic, Endorphins, Enkephalin, Hypothalamus, Μ-opioid receptor, Morphine, Opiate, Rostral ventromedial medulla, Substantia gelatinosa of Rolando.

Analgesic

An analgesic or painkiller is any member of the group of drugs used to achieve analgesia, relief from pain.

Enkephalin

An enkephalin (occasionally spelled encephalin) is a pentapeptide involved in regulating nociception in the body.

Μ-opioid receptor

The μ-opioid receptors (MOR) are a class of opioid receptors with a high affinity for enkephalins and beta-endorphin, but a low affinity for dynorphins.

Rostral ventromedial medulla

The rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM), or ventromedial nucleus of the spinal cord, is a group of neurons located close to the midline on the floor of the medulla oblongata (myelencephalon).

Substantia gelatinosa of Rolando

The apex of the posterior grey column, one of the three grey columns of the spinal cord, is capped by a V-shaped or crescentic mass of translucent, gelatinous neuroglia, termed the substantia gelatinosa of Rolando (or SGR) (or gelatinous substance of posterior horn of spinal cord), which contains both neuroglia cells, and small nerve cells.
