ABSTRACT: The G-protein activation induced by μ-opioid receptor agonists was determined in spinal cord membranes from two types of μ-opioid receptor knockout mice: mice with a disruption of exon 1 (MOR (Exon 1)-KO) or exons 2 and 3 (MOR (Exons 2 and 3)-KO) of the μ-opioid receptor gene. The G-protei...
