Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been engineered to stably overexpress human opioid receptor mu 1 (OPRM1) on their surface. These cells contain high levels of both G protein Gαi and Gαq, which are crucial for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Drug screening and biological assays
OPRM1 encodes the mu-opioid receptor, a key receptor in the endogenous opioid system. It is involved in pain perception, analgesia, and addiction, and is the principal target of endogenous opioid peptides and opioid analgesic agents.
