Recently, SIGMAR2\/TMEM97 was identified as the opioid 2 receptor. Opioid receptors are a large super family of 7 transmembrane-spanning G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that are activated by both endogenous opioid peptides and by exogenously administered opiate compounds (2). Opioid receptors are of pharmacological interest not only as analgesics but to treat neurological disorders including psychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases. Opioid receptors are classified pharmacologically, including σ and σ type receptors. Although SIGMAR1 was identified in 1996 as the σ receptor, identification of the σ type receptor remained elusive until 2017 when TMEM97 was identified as the σ type receptor (3,4). In addition to acting as an opioid receptor, SIGMAR2\/TMEM97 may also act within a complex to regulate cellular update of Aβ, the pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (5,6).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nMAC30; Meningioma-associated protein 30; Q5BJF2; S2R; SGMR2; Sigma intracellular receptor 2; Sigma-2 receptor; Sigma2 receptor; TMEM97; transmembrane protein 97\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 19\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46801030676649,"sku":"62790T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-62790t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
