Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ receptor expression in primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells is not regulated by exposure to breast cancer cell media or angiogenic stimuli

Background: Opioid receptors are naloxone-sensitive (MOP [mu: μ], DOP [delta: δ], and KOP [kappa: κ]) and naloxone-insensitive Nociceptin/Orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) peptide receptor (NOP). Clinically, most opioid analgesics target MOP. Angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels and involves endothe...
