[G-protein-coupled receptor-8] The approved gene symbol for this receptor is NPBWR2 [neuropeptides B/W receptor 2], NPWR2 [neuropeptide W receptor 2]. The receptor is being referred to also as opioid-somatostatin-like receptor 8.
This human receptor has been identified by O'Dowd et al (1995) in a search for additional members of the opioid receptor gene family. The receptor shows structural features in common with both opioid and somatostatin receptors. The coding sequence shows 70 % identity with GPR7. GPR8 receptors are absent in rodents, where the GPR8-LR [GPR8-like receptor
