Human expression variation in the mu-opioid receptor is paralleled in rhesus macaque.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 2008

Vallender Eric J, Priddy Cassandra M, Chen Guo-Lin, Miller Gregory M

Abstract excerpt

The mu-opioid receptor is a key component in many neurobiological systems including those affecting perceptions of pain and pleasure. In humans and non-human primate model systems, genetic variation in the receptor has been associated with numerous behavioral and physiological traits. In humans, polymorphisms have been identified which affect not only the biochemical function of the receptor, but also expression...
