Difference between Κ-opioid receptor and RB-64

Κ-opioid receptor vs. RB-64

The κ-opioid receptor (KOR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that in humans is encoded by the OPRK1 gene. RB-64 or 22-thiocyanatosalvinorin A is a semi-synthetic salvinorin derivative and a κ-opioid receptor (KOR) agonist which is used in scientific research.

Similarities between Κ-opioid receptor and RB-64

Κ-opioid receptor and RB-64 have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agonist, Analgesic, Functional selectivity, G protein, Nalfurafine, Salvinorin A, Salvinorin B methoxymethyl ether.

Agonist

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

Analgesic

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

Functional selectivity

Functional selectivity (or “agonist trafficking”, “biased agonism”, “biased signalling”, "ligand bias" and “differential engagement”) is the ligand-dependent selectivity for certain signal transduction pathways relative to a reference ligand (often the endogenous hormone or peptide) at the same receptor.

G protein

G proteins, also known as guanine nucleotide-binding proteins, are a family of proteins that act as molecular switches inside cells, and are involved in transmitting signals from a variety of stimuli outside a cell to its interior.

Nalfurafine

Nalfurafine (INN, USAN) (brand name Remitch; former developmental code names TRK-820, AC-820, MT-9938) is an antipruritic (anti-itch drug) that is marketed in Japan for the treatment of uremic pruritus in individuals with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis.

Salvinorin A

Salvinorin A is the main active psychotropic molecule in Salvia divinorum, a Mexican plant which has a long history of use as an entheogen by indigenous Mazatec shamans.

Salvinorin B methoxymethyl ether

Salvinorin B methoxymethyl ether (2-O-methoxymethylsalvinorin B) is a semi-synthetic analogue of the natural product salvinorin A used in scientific research.
