This relationship, however, remains unclear. It is interesting to consider the possibility that they may represent splice variants of a common gene with alternative exons. Indeed, two splice variants of MOR-1 already have been reported,41,43 but they do not explain the different pharmacologies noted above. This area needs further study to resolve these questions. These studies also have opened another interesting aspect of opioid pharmacology. Heroin is the most widely abused opioid, leading some to question whether its actions may be different from morphine.
