		Technical Data
O7030-55	Opioid Receptor

Description:
Most actions of exogenous opioids, such as morphine, are mediated through the mu-opioid receptor, including analgesia, tolerance and reward. In general, opioids modulate numerous central and peripheral processes including pain perception, neuroendocrine secretion and the immune response. The opioid signal is transduced from receptors through G proteins to various different effectors. Subsequent to G protein activation, several effectors are known to orchestrate the opioid signal. For example, activation of opioid receptors increases phosphatidyl-inositol turnover, activates K+ channels and reduces adenylyl cyclase and Ca++ channel activities.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:500-1:1,000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
