Abstract excerpt
Chronic activation of mu-opioid receptors, which couple to pertussis toxin-sensitive Galphai/o proteins to inhibit adenylyl cyclase (AC), leads to a compensatory sensitization of AC. Pertussis toxin-insensitive mutations of Galphai/o subtypes, in which the pertussis toxin-sensitive cysteine is mutated to isoleucine (Galpha ), were used to determine whether each of the Galphai/o subtypes is able to mediate...
