Abstract excerpt
The mu- and delta-opioid receptors (MOR and DOR) differ significantly in their intracellular trafficking. MORs recycle back to the cell surface upon agonist treatment, whereas most internalized DORs are targeted to lysosomes for degradation. By exchanging the carboxyl tail domains of MOR and DOR and expressing the receptor chimeras in mouse neuroblastoma Neuro2A cells, it could be demonstrated that the carboxyl...
