Summary: This gene encodes the precursor for neuropeptides that have been implicated in a wide range of physiological roles such as transmission and sensitivity to pain, learning, memory, anxiety and depression, in the central nervous system. The encoded protein is a precursor that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple biologically active peptides including nociceptin and nocistatin which have opposite functions in pain transmission. Mice lacking the encoded protein display increased anxiety, elevated basal pain threshold and impaired adaptation to repeated stress. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

Both Pnoc and FoxP1 were expressed at high levels in the rostromedial tegmental nucleus and colocalized strongly with previously established RMTg markers.
Title: Gene expression and neurochemical characterization of the rostromedial tegmental nucleus (RMTg) in rats and mice.
Study demonstrates that nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) activated JNK through the PLC-IP3 signaling pathway, which is coupled to Gi/o, in astrocytes of the spinal dorsal horn. The study also demonstrated that N/OFQ induced monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 release from astrocytes of the spinal cord via JNK activation.
Title: Intrathecal administration of low-dose nociceptin/orphanin FQ induces allodynia via c-Jun N-terminal kinase and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1.
the present results suggest that the endogenous OFQ/N/NOP receptor system may modulate the development of cocaine-induced locomotor sensitization.

these findings may identify nociceptin as a novel paracrine mediator of the FSH effects in the regulation of spermatogenesis.
Title: Nociceptin is upregulated by FSH signaling in Sertoli cells in murine testes.
MPTP increased by about 5-fold the number of neurons expressing ppN/OFQ mRNA in the pars reticulata of the substantia nigra by 24 h after treatment and the elevation remained significant for at least 7 days.

reduction in endogenous N/OFQ, or the lack of its receptor, causes an increase in capsaicin-induced bronchoconstriction, implying a role for the N/OFQ-NOP receptor system in the modulation of capsaicin effects

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate donor splice site at the penultimate exon compared to variant 1. This results in a frameshift, and a longer isoform (2, also known as N27K) with a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1.
