OPRM1 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

MOR-1: a Gi-protein-coupled receptor for beta-endorphin, morphine and other opiates. Inhibits neurotransmitter release by reducing calcium ion currents and increasing potassium ion conductance. Ligand-binding inactivates adenylyl cyclase, and activates a variety of G-beta-gamma-dependent pathways including the MAPK and the PI3K/Akt cascades. Two splice-variant isoforms have been described.
