Abstract excerpt
A series of mu opioid receptor gene Oprm splice variants have been reported that differ only at their C-terminus. These variants all contain exons 1, 2, and 3 of the gene, the exons responsible for coding all seven transmembrane domains. Whereas MOR-1 also has exon 4 that encodes for an additional 12 amino acids at the tip of the C-terminus, the other MOR-1 variants have unique amino acid sequences distinct from...
