Data Sheet

Background: μ opioid receptor (MOR) is a G protein-coupled receptor for β-endorphin. The receptor activation inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium currents and increasing potassium conductance. MOR mediates positive reinforcement following direct (morphine) or indirect (alcohol, cannabinoids, nicotine) activation. MOR plays a genetic role in the control of gut inflammation. MOR-deficient mice are highly susceptible to colon inflammation, with a 50% mortality rate occurring 3 days after administration of TNBS that induces inflammation. MOR agonists regulate cytokine production and T cell proliferation and might be new therapeutic molecules in inflammatory bowel disease.

Application: Functional assays
