alpha-Casomorphin (1-2)

alpha-Casomorphin (1-2) is a synthetic research peptide in the beta-casomorphin opioid peptide family. Beta-casomorphins are beta-casein-derived opioid peptides. Their N-terminal Tyr-Pro-related opioid message and residue stereochemistry influence opioid-receptor activity. D-amino-acid substitutions can alter proteolytic stability and pharmacological behavior relative to the native milk-derived peptide.

• opioid receptor binding assays
• casein-derived peptide research
• D-amino-acid analog comparisons
• peptide stability studies

The exact sequence, residue range, stereochemistry, cyclization, terminal state, species, and chemical modifications can materially affect activity. The supplied construct should be matched to the intended assay and the specific literature context.
