Opioids act on opioid receptors (μ, κ, δ, and opioid receptor-like receptor (ORL)) leading to the activation of G-proteins and both direct and indirect closing of ion channels. Activated G-proteins can directly close ion channels. Activated G-proteins also inactive adenylate cyclase, which, when activated, opens ion channels.
