My first co–last author manuscript is now online in JPET! Here we show Kappa Opioid Receptor (KOR) trafficking and subsequent signalling is modulated by Endothelin-converting enzyme 2 with implications for disorders involving dysregulation in KOR signalling bit.ly/4nIaP7C

Endothelin-converting enzyme 2 regulates κ opioid receptor trafficking and function

Previous studies show that endothelin-converting enzyme 2 (ECE2), an enzyme involved in nonclassical processing of neuropeptide precursors, regulates …
