The long-term goal of this research project is to understand the role of scaffolding proteins in the regulation ofopioid receptors. Opioids are commonly administered as systemic analgesics to treat acute, chronic, andintractable pain syndromes. However, activation of mu opioid receptors (MOPr) throughout the central nervoussystem produces negative side effects that often contraindicate continued use.
