OPRM1

This gene encodes one of at least three opioid receptors in humans; the mu opioid receptor (MOR). The MOR is the principal target of endogenous opioid peptides and opioid analgesic agents such as beta-endorphin and enkephalins. The MOR also has an important role in dependence to other drugs of abuse, such as nicotine, cocaine, and alcohol via its modulation of the dopamine system. The NM_001008503.2:c.118A>G allele has been associated with opioid and alcohol addiction and variations in pain sensitivity but evidence for it having a causal role is conflicting. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. Though the canonical MOR belongs to the superfamily of 7-transmembrane-spanning G-protein-coupled receptors some isoforms of this gene have only 6 transmembrane domains.

Interaction

Forms homooligomers and heterooligomers with other GPCRs, such as OPRD1, OPRK1, OPRL1, NPFFR2, ADRA2A, SSTR2, CNR1 and CCR5 (probably in dimeric forms) (PubMed:12413885, PubMed:15778451, PubMed:15967873, PubMed:17224450). Interacts with heterotrimeric G proteins; interaction with a heterotrimeric complex containing GNAI1, GNB1 and GNG2 stabilizes the active conformation of the receptor and increases its affinity for endomorphin-2, the synthetic opioid peptide DAMGO and for morphinan agonists (By similarity). Interacts with PPL; the interaction disrupts agonist-mediated G-protein activation (PubMed:12810704). Interacts (via C-terminus) with DNAJB4 (via C-terminus) (PubMed:16542645). Interacts with calmodulin; the interaction inhibits the constitutive activity of OPRM1; it abolishes basal and attenuates agonist-stimulated G-protein coupling (PubMed:10419536, PubMed:10899953). Interacts with FLNA, PLD2, RANBP9 and WLS and GPM6A (PubMed:12519790, PubMed:14573758, PubMed:19788913, PubMed:20214800). Interacts with RTP4 (By similarity). Interacts with SYP and GNAS (By similarity). Interacts with RGS9, RGS17, RGS20, RGS4, PPP1R9B and HINT1 (By similarity).
