In order to characterize pre-junctional δ opioid receptors in the rabbit ear artery, the δ-selective agonist [D-Pen2,D-Pen5]enkephalin (DPDPE), and δ-selective antagonist, ICI 174,864, were used. The selectivity of these compounds for the δ receptor was confirmed using a standard opioid sensitive preparation, the mouse was deferens. Relative potencies of a series of opioid agonists were similar in the rabbit ear artery and the mouse vas deferens. Furthermore, Kevalues for IC 174,864 were not different in the two tissues. These findings demonstrate that δ opioid receptors in the rabbit ear artery and mouse vas deferens have similar properties.
