Endogenous opioid peptides and opioid receptors form a neuromodulatory system, which plays an important part in the control of physiological pathways. In addition, some opioid peptides can function as endogenous messengers of the immune system and participate in the regulation of the immune response. The present studies indicated that mu, delta, and kappa opioid-like receptors were present in the gill and gonad of the scallop Chlamys farreri. Furthermore, the significance of opioid peptides involvement with the immune system is ascertained from the presence of mu, delta, and kappa opioid-like receptors on hemocytes of the scallop. Our report constitutes the first characterization of mu, delta, and kappa opioid-like receptors in the gill and gonad of the scallop Chlamys farreri.
内源性阿片肽和阿片受体形成一个神经调质系统,在生理途径的控制中起着重要作用。此外,一些阿片肽可以作为免疫系统的内源性信使,参与免疫反应的调节。目前的研究表明,贻贝 Chlamys farreri 的鳃和性腺中存在μ、δ 和 κ 阿片样受体。此外,从贻贝血细胞中存在μ、δ 和 κ 阿片样受体可以确定阿片肽与免疫系统的参与意义。我们的报告首次描述了贻贝 Chlamys farreri 的鳃和性腺中μ、δ 和 κ 阿片样受体。
