aFunctional bioactivity was determined using GPI and MVD preparations. b[35S]GTPγS binding assays were performed with membranes from CHO stably expressing human opioid receptors. Percentage stimulation (% stim.) is presented relative to the reference full agonists DAMGO (MOR), DPDPE (DOR), or U69,593 (KOR). cData from Lattanzi et al. (2005). dData from Ben Haddou et al. (2014). Values are means ± SEM of at least three experiments. P < 0.05, ∗∗P < 0.01, ∗∗∗P < 0.001, vs. 14-OMO (unpaired t-test).
