“…They are also of major importance for the regulation of apoptosis, cytokinesis, hormone secretion and differentiation (Braun et al, 2007; Zhang et al, 2012; Maßberg et al, 2015; Gelis et al, 2016; Manteniotis et al, 2016a,b; Massberg et al, 2016; Tsai et al, 2016). However, the expression and localization of ORs in different areas of the brain, the spinal cord, the trigeminal (TG) and dorsal root ganglia (DRG) were recently described (Otaki et al, 2004; Garcia-Esparcia et al, 2013; Flegel et al, 2015; Goncalves et al, 2016). Yet, the physiological function of ORs in the nervous system remains elusive.…”
