Gene Information
human ... OPRM1(4988)
General description
The gene OPRM1 (opioid receptor μ 1) is mapped to human chromosome 6q24-q25. The gene spanning a length of 200kb contains 11 exons that yield 17 splice variants.
Immunogen
Mu-type opioid receptor recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
The gene OPRM1 (opioid receptor μ 1) encodes a μ opioid receptor that functions in pain perception and addiction to drugs of abuse, such as cocaine, nicotine, and alcohol. It serves as a target for opioid drugs, such as morphine, methadone and heroin, and opioid peptides, such as β-endorphin and endomorphins, and mediates their effects. Single nucleotide polymorphism A118G in this gene is associated with an inclination to drug addiction and lesser response to painful stimuli.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The opioid agonist D,L-methadone exerts analgesic effects via the mu opioid receptor, encoded by OPRM1 and therefore plays a role in chronic pain management. In preclinical tumor-models D,L-methadone shows apoptotic and chemo-sensitizing effects and was therefore hyped as an off-label
