Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we demonstrated that antagonists such as naloxone or naltrexone acted as full agonists at the mu-opioid receptor (MOR)/delta-opioid receptor (DOR) chimeric receptor (mudelta2, where the DOR sequence from the first extracellular loop to the carboxyl terminus was spliced to the MOR sequence) when a conserved serine residue in transmembrane 4 (TM4) was mutated to leucine. However, when Ser196 in...
