This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification.
Immunogen
This OPRM1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 161-187 amino acids from the Central region of human OPRM1.
OPRM1 is the mu opioid receptor, which is the primary site of action for the most commonly used opioids, including morphine, heroin, fentanyl, and methadone. It is also the primary receptor for endogenous opioid peptides beta-endorphin (see POMC, MIM 176830) and the enkephalins (see PENK, MIM 131330). The OPRM1 receptor is a membrane of the G protein-coupled receptor family (Bond et al., 1998 [PubMed 9689128]). There are at least 3 types of opioid receptors, mu, kappa (OPRK1, MIM 165196), and delta, each with a distinct pharmacologic profile.
