We identified a novel neuropeptide and named it "nocistatin." Its presence was expected by analysis of the precursor for the neuropeptide nociceptin or orphanin FQ (Noc/OFQ), previously identified as an endogenous ligand for the orphan opioid receptor-like receptor. The precursor

Nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) and nocistatin (NST) are two recently identified neuropeptides with opposing effects on several CNS functions, including spinal nociception. The cellular mechanisms that underlie this antagonism are not known. Here, we have investigated the effects of both peptides

Prolonged tissue damage or injury often leads to chronic pain states such that noxious stimuli evoke hyperalgesia and innocuous tactile stimuli evoke pain (allodynia). The neuropeptide nociceptin, also known as orphanin FQ, is an endogenous ligand for the orphan opioid-like
