Kappa opioid receptor (KOR) is a receptor for dynorphins. KOR inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance and may play a role in arousal and regulation of autonomic and neuroendocrine functions. Some studies suggest that the stimulation of kappa opioid receptors improves memory dysfunctions resulting from the blockade of muscarinic M1 receptors. In addition, there is evidence that kappa opioid receptor agonists attenuate several behavioral responses induced by drugs of abuse, raising the possibility that kappa opioid receptor agonists may be useful for the treatment of dependence on drugs of abuse.
