The hypoalgesic phenotype observed in these animals is mediated via K-opiate receptor activation, and prodynorphin mRNA and dynorphin peptides are shown to be elevated in dream/ spinal cords. This study highlights the essential contribution of DREAM to pain modulation, owing to its role as a transcriptional repressor for prodynorphin.
