A video on Mu, Delta, Kappa and ORL1 receptors on Pharmacology Corner
This lecture discusses the following topics:
  • General classification
  • Cellular actions of opioid receptors
  • Anatomical distribution and physiologic effects of mu, delta and kappa receptors
  • Agonists and antagonists
  • ORL-1 receptors

Part 1: Classification and Cellular Actions
Provides an introduction to the classification of  opioid receptors,  it also discusses the cellular effects of  opioid receptor activation (presynaptic inhibition of neurotransmitter release).

Part 2: Mu, Kappa and Delta receptors 
Lists the most relevant agonists and antagonists for the different subtypes of opioid receptor, then effects upon activation (opioid physiology) are reviewed.

Part 3: ORL1, Nociceptin or Orphanin FQ receptor
An overview on the recently discovered ORL1 receptor.
