Alternative Pre-mRNA Splicing of the Mu Opioid Receptor Gene, <i>OPRM1</i>: Insight into Complex Mu Opioid Actions

Most opioid analgesics used clinically, including morphine and fentanyl, as well as the recreational drug heroin, act primarily through the mu opioid receptor, a class A Rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). The single-copy mu opioid receptor gene, <i>OPRM1</i>, undergoes ext...
