Abstract excerpt
It is generally accepted that the internalization and desensitization of mu-opioid receptor (MOR) involves receptor phosphorylation and beta-arrestin recruitment. However, a mutant MOR, which is truncated after the amino acid residue Ser363 (MOR363D), was found to undergo phosphorylation-independent internalization and desensitization. As expected, MOR363D, missing the putative agonist-induced phosphorylation...
