| Scientific Background: | The opioid receptors δ, κ, and μ are members of the seven-transmembrane domain-containing receptor family of G-protein coupled receptors. δ- and μ-receptors serve as functional receptors for endogenous enkephalin and β-endorphin peptide ligands, respectively. δ-opioid receptors are highly expressed in the olfactory bulb, neocortex, caudate putamen and nucleus accumbens, with peripheral expression in the gastro-intestinal tract and vas deferens. δ-receptors inhibit neurotransmitter release resulting in a variety of biological effects including analgesia, motor integration, gastro-intestinal motility, olfaction, respiration, and memory. Neural μ-receptor expression is prominent in the caudate putamen, neocortex, thalamus, nucleus accumbens, hippocampus, and amygdala, as well as in peripheral nervous tissues in the gut. Named for its pharmacological mediation of analgesia by morphine, the μ receptor typically functions as a depressant in physiological processes including respiration, cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal motility, and thermoregulation. |

Western blot analysis: MW marker (1) and 20µg rat brain extract (2) probed with Opioid Receptor µ pAb at 1.3µg/ml.
Cellular ELISA: SKNSH cells endogenously expressing Opioid Receptor µ were treated with indicated concentrations of agonist (DAMGO) and probed with Opioid Receptor µ pAb (1:500 of a stock solution of 1µg/μl) by ELISA. Data from vehicle treated cells were taken as 100%. Results are the mean ± SEM (n=3).
Immunohistochemistry analysis: Mouse brain sections untreated (left) or morphine-treated (right) were stained with Opioid Receptor µ pAb.
