Study demonstrated that activation of the OX1 receptor in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray of mice can initiate an endocannabinoid-CB1 receptor-mediated analgesia. Activation of the OX2 receptor in the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray was also antinociceptive but this antinociceptive effect is CB1 receptor-independent.

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.
