Ketazocine (

κ opioid receptor.[1]

Activation of this receptor is known to cause sleepiness, a decrease in pain sensation and (potentially)

endogenous
substance that assists in regulating fluid and electrolyte balance in the body and decreases the amount of water released into the urine.)

Unlike other opioids, substances that only bind to the κ receptor theoretically do not depress the respiratory system.

The crystal structure of ketazocine was determined in 1983.[2]
