Abstract
Summary Sodium and GTP are important physiological effectors of the opiate receptors in NG108-15 neuroblastoma x glioma hybrid cells. With membrane preparations, Na+ and guanine nucleotides regulate opiate binding and are required for opiate inhibition of adenylate cyclase. With intact viable cells, [Na+]out is required for opiate control over intracellular cAMP concentrations. The data are discussed in terms of a model in which separate membrane components, through their association with the opiate receptor, render it physiologically active and at the same time Na+ - and nucleotide-sensitive.
