Stefano traced the co-evolution of OR and the immune system underlying the fact that these receptors helped earlier animals to survive pain and inflammation shock in aggressive environments. [ 16 ] The receptor families delta, kappa, and mu demonstrate 55–58% identity to one another, and a 48–49% homology to the nociceptin receptor .
The structure of the inactive μ-opioid receptor has been determined with the antagonists β-FNA [6] and alvimopan. [7] Many structures of the active state are also available, with agonists including DAMGO, [8] β-endorphin, [9] fentanyl and morphine. [10]
