Modulation of MDR1 and CYP3A expression by dexamethasone: evidence for an inverse regulation in adrenals.

abstract：:The mouse gene encoding the mu opioid receptor, Oprm, undergoes extensive alternatively splicing, with 14 variants having been identified. However, only one variant of human mu opioid receptor gene (Oprm), MOR-1A, has been described. We now report two novel splice variants of the human Oprm gene, hMOR-1O and hMOR-1X. ...
