    Abstract

    Morphine is an antagonist at 5-HT(3) A receptors. 5-HT(3) and opioid receptors are expressed in many of the same neuronal pathways where they modulate gut motility, pain and reinforcement. There is increasing interest in the 5-HT3B subunit, which confers altered pharmacology to 5-HT(3) receptors. We investigated the mechanisms of inhibition by morphine of 5-HT(3) receptors and the influence of the 5-HT3B subunit.
