Gene Information

human ... OPRM1(4988)

General description

The gene OPRM1 (opioid receptor μ 1) is mapped to human chromosome 6q24-q25. The gene spans a length of 200kb and contains 11 exons that yield 17 splice variants.

Immunogen

Peptide sequence around aa. 373-377 (H-P-S-T-A), according to the protein OPRM1.

Application

Anti-OPRM1 (Ab-375) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in Western blotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The gene OPRM1 (opioid receptor μ 1) encodes a μ opioid receptor that functions in pain perception and addiction to drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, nicotine and alcohol. It serves as a target for opioid drugs, such as morphine, methadone and heroin and opioid peptides (like β - endorphin and endomorphins) and mediates their effects. Single nucleotide polymorphism in the OPRM1 gene is associated with an inclination to drug addiction and lesser response to painful stimuli.
