The brain of the frog R. ridibunda contains a major opioid binding site which in vitro pharmacological profile is different from those of mammalian mu, delta- and kappa-opioid sites. In digitonin extracts, this major opioid site exists as two molecular forms -10S and 12S- which are clearly resolved by sedimentation in sucrose gradients and which are thought to represent the opioid receptor alone (10S) or associated (12S) with a guanine nucleotide regulatory protein. Purification of the digitonin extracts by affinity chromatography on immobilized dynorphin, results in a single major protein component of apparent Mr approximately 64,000.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011895 Rana ridibunda A species of the family Ranidae which occurs primarily in Europe and is used widely in biomedical research.
D011957 Receptors, Opioid 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.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D004174 Diprenorphine A narcotic antagonist similar in action to NALOXONE. It is used to remobilize animals after ETORPHINE neuroleptanalgesia and is considered a specific antagonist to etorphine. Diprenorphine Hydrochloride,Revivon,Hydrochloride, Diprenorphine

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
