Abstract excerpt
Previously, we reported that replacement of the region from the fifth transmembrane domain to the C-terminus of kappa-opioid receptor with the corresponding region of mu-opioid receptor gives high affinity for [D-Ala2, N-MePhe4, Gly-ol5]enkephalin (DAMGO), a mu-opioid receptor-selective ligand, to the resultant chimeric receptor, suggesting that the difference in the amino acid sequence within this region is...
