NCIt definition : Human OGFR wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 20q13.3 and is approximately
9 kb in length. This allele, which encodes opioid growth factor receptor protein,
plays a role in Met-enkephalin-dependent signaling.;
NCIt note : The coding sequence of the OGFR gene contains a polymorphic region of 60 nt tandem
imperfect repeat units. Several transcripts containing between zero and eight repeat
units have been reported. (EntrezGene);
