Cloning and characterization of multiple opioid receptors
NIDA Res Monogr.
1996.
Abstract
Over the course of 1 to 2 years, the field has moved swiftly to investigate the functional and structural properties of the newly cloned opioid receptors. Achieving a better understanding of these macromolecules is likely to have profound implications for drug design aimed at the production of better analgesic drugs, for a more fundamental understanding of mechanisms of action of drugs of abuse, and for a more comprehensive knowledge base regarding the biology of opioid peptides in particular, and neuroactive peptides in general.
