Abstract excerpt
Nociceptin/orphanin FQ is a recently discovered neuropeptide and the endogenous ligand for opioid receptor-like-1. The promoter region of the precursor protein prepronociceptin (ppN/OFQ) has been cloned and sequenced. We have previously shown that a stretch of 110 bases immediately 5' to the first intron 23 bp upstream of the ATG start codon is responsible for significant enhancement of transcription of the human...
