Opioid receptors of rat brain membranes were prelabeled with H-3-Tyr-D-Ala2-(Phe4)-Gly-CH2Cl, a chloromethyl ketone derivative of enkephalin, and solubilized in 1% digitonin. Hydrodynamic parameters of the receptor detergent complex derived from gel filtration and sucrose density gradient ultra-centrifugation were found to be 51 A and 8.7 S, respectively, and the size was estimated to be about 200 kDa. Sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis followed by fluorography revealed specific alkylation of a major protein at 58 kDa.
