pubmed:abstractText |
A partial cDNA encoding a kappa-opioid receptor was isolated and used to generate specific 35S-labeled probes to investigate the gene expression of the kappa-opioid receptor in sensory, sympathetic and spinal neurons of the rat by in situ hybridization. A subpopulation of mainly small and medium-sized neurons within dorsal root and trigeminal ganglia expressed kappa-receptor mRNA, but no signal was detectable in the superior cervical ganglion. kappa-Receptor mRNA was distributed over neurons throughout the dorsal horn and in laminae VII/VIII. Highest concentrations of positive neurons were seen in laminae I/II, dorsal lamina X and in the lateral spinal nucleus. alpha-Motoneurons and glial cells were not labeled. This distribution of kappa-receptor mRNA indicates preferential functions of kappa-receptors in sensory signalling with particular importance to nociception.
