Tyrosine 7.43 is important for mu-opioid receptor downstream signaling pathways activated by fentanyl

G protein–coupled receptors can signal through both G proteins and ß-arrestin2. For the µ-opioid receptor (MOR), early experimental evidence from a single study suggested that G protein signaling mediates analgesia and sedation, whereas ß-arrestin signaling mediates respiratory depression and consti...
