MOR-1 Polyclonal Antibody

function:Inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance. Receptor for beta-endorphin.,online information:Mu opioid receptor entry,polymorphism:Variant Asp-40 does not show altered binding affinities for most opioid peptides and alkaloids tested, but it binds beta-endorphin, an endogenous opioid that activates the mu opioid receptor, approximately 3 times more tightly than the most common allelic form.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,subunit:Forms a complex with G(alpha)z/i2 subunits and the RGSZ proteins, RGSZ17 and RGSZ20. The formation of this complex results in mu-opioid receptor desensitization. Interacts with RGSZ17 and RGSZ20.,
