AarI B-D part, DOR-Actinin1ABD

delta Opioid receptor fused to the actin binding domain of alpha-actinin-1. The fusion is flanked by AarI BD sites.

Usage and Biology

The ABD of ACTN1 binds to the C-terminus of DOR, and has been shown to modulate the recycling of the receptor. Unpublished results suggest that a direct fusion of these proteins shows improved recycling over wt DOR.
