nervous system
• voltage-independent inhibition by DAMGO is reduced in nociceptors compared to in wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal calcium current densities in dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, N-type current densities in DRG neurons, DAMGO inhibition of N-type currents in nociceptors

behavior/neurological
• morphine is 30% less effective as an analgesic with reduced effectiveness at all time points compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• mice exhibit decreased morphine-induced analgesia at high doses compared with wild-type mice
