Molecular mechanisms controlling μ-opioid receptor activation

The μ-opioid receptor (MOP) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) responsible for mediating the analgesic effects of opioids such as morphine. Despite the numerous adverse effects associated with opioids, the MOP is the main therapeutic target for the treatment of severe and chronic pain. Due to th...
