The opiates bind to three receptors . All the three receptors that the opiate binds to are G-protein coupled receptors.

These receptors are:

Delta/DOR/OP1
Kappa/KOR/OP2
mu/MOR/OP3
Nociceptin receptor/NOR/OP4
Zeta/ZOR

Opiates elicit an inhibitory action on postsynaptic cells.

The endogenously produced opiates are beta-endorphin, the met- and leu-enkephalins, and the dynorphins.

They cause postsynaptic inhibition of cell firing . They may also cause a presynaptic reduction in the release of excitatory transmitters. These mechanisms result in inhibition of discharge of nerve cells. There is direct inhibition of cell firing by opening membrane potassium channels and hyper polarizing the membrane, in case of the cells of myenteric plexus. If hyperpolarization occurs on nerve cell processes,it can lead to reduction in transmitter release by blocking action potential propagation and by reducing the entry of calcium during action potential.

Short answer: The Fc receptor FcRn, expressed in intestinal epithelial cells, binds to the Fc portion of IgG antibodies. Moreover, FcRn binds to IgG with high affinity at an acidic pH (<6.5) but not at physiological pH (pH 7.4). How is this biochemical feature of FcRn critical for its role in antigen presentations for gut immunity?
