Abstract
In synaptic membranes of guinea pig cerebellum, in which preparations U-50, 488H, a κ-opioid agonist inhibits G-protein activity, the same κ-agonist at 100 nM inhibited the phospholipase C (PLC) activity stimulated by 100 μM GTP in the presence of 10 μM Ca2+. The present study provides a unique hypothetical mechanism that the receptor-mediated inhibition of PLC is mediated by inhibition of G-protein activity.
