Abstract excerpt
The most common single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the human mu-opioid receptor (hMOR) gene occurs at position 118 (A118G) and results in substitution of asparagine to aspartate at the N-terminus. The purpose of the present study was to compare the pharmacological profile of several opioid agonists to heterologously expressed hMOR and N-type Ca(2+) channels in sympathetic neurons. cDNA constructs coding for...
