Journal Article
Underwood, O., Fritzwanker, S., Glenn, J., Blum, N. K., Batista-Gondin, A., Drube, J., Hoffmann, C., Briddon, S. J., Schulz, S., & Canals, M. (2024). Key phosphorylation sites for robust β-arrestin2 binding at the MOR revisited. Communications Biology, 7, Article 933. https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-024-06571-1

Desensitisation of the mu-opioid receptor (MOR) is proposed to underlie the initiation of opioid analgesic tolerance and previous work has shown that agonist-induced phosphorylation of the MOR C-tail contributes to this desensitisation. Moreover, pho... Read More about Key phosphorylation sites for robust β-arrestin2 binding at the MOR revisited.

The human P2Y2 receptor (hP2Y2R) is a G protein-coupled receptor that shows promise as a therapeutic target for many important conditions including anti-metastatic cancer therapy and more recently for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. A... Read More about Synthesis and evaluation of the first fluorescent antagonists of the human P2Y2 receptor based on AR-C118925.
