Mu Opioid Receptor

Pleased note this antibody was generated using a synthetic peptide sequence corresponding to amino acids 384-398 predicted from the cloned rat MOR1. The peptide was conjugated to bovine thyroglobulin with glutaraldehyde (Mu Opioid Receptor Catalog #RA10104 was made using a peptide corresponding to amino acids 386-400 (NHQLENLEAETAPLP).

Three types of opioid receptors have been cloned -- mu, delta, and kappa. Opioid receptors are seven transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors. They share a high degree of homology and are most divergent at the N- and C-termini. Activation of mu opioid receptors leads to a decrease in neuronal excitability.
