  • DELTA OPIOID RECEPTOR PROTEIN
    Publication number: 20080219925
    Abstract: Recombinant forms of isolated and purified delta opioid receptors and methods to screen for compounds interactive with delta opioid receptors are described.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 14, 2007
    Publication date: September 11, 2008
    Inventors: Christopher J. EVANS, Duane E. Keith, Robert H. Edwards, Daniel Kaufman
  • Opioid receptor genes
    Publication number: 20030124672
    Abstract: Genes encoding opioid receptors (including opioid-like receptor (ORL) proteins) can be retrieved from vertebrate libraries using the murine probe disclosed herein under low-stringency conditions. The DNA sequence shown in FIG. 5 or its complement can be used to obtain the human delta, kappa and mu genes as well as the murine mu gene and human ORL-1. The probe provided encodes the murine delta opioid receptor.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 7, 2002
    Publication date: July 3, 2003
    Inventors: Christopher J. Evans, Duane E. Keith, Robert H. Edwards, Daniel Kaufman
