Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Nociceptin antibody (AB100880)
Dual labeling of Nociceptin (green) and enkephalin (red). 7 μm paraffin sections of human brain tissue were cut and floated onto positively charged slides. After being dewaxed and microwaved in 10mM citric acid (pH 6.0) for 20 minutes at 600W, sections were incubated with the rabbit polyclonal antisera overnight at 4°C, primary antibody was detected using biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG followed by incubation with peroxidase-conjugated avidin.
Binding of the primary antibody was visualized using 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (AEC) in acetate buffer. Afterwards, sections were rinsed, counterstained with Mayer`s hematoxylin and mounted in Vectamount mounting medium.

Biological function summary
Nociceptin impacts pain modulation stress response and behavioral regulation. It forms a signaling complex with the NOP receptor which is a member of the opioid receptor family. Unlike classical opioid peptides nociceptin does not bind to opioid receptors (mu delta or kappa) and is considered to have a distinct role in the nervous system. Its action can be anti-opioid or analgesic depending on the context of its expression and the physiological state influenced.
Pathways
Nociceptin plays a significant role in nociceptive pathways and stress-related pathways. In the nociceptive pathways it regulates pain transmission through its interaction with the NOP receptor which can inhibit neurotransmitter release and hyperalgesia. Related proteins in these pathways include neurotransmitters like substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). In stress-related pathways nociceptin interacts with components involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis modulating stress hormone release and affecting behavioral responses to stress.
