[Met5]-Enkephalin

Met-enkephalin is an endogenous opioid pentapeptide derived from proenkephalin. It participates in nociceptive signaling and is a classic ligand for opioid-receptor pharmacology and peptide-degradation studies.

• neuropeptide receptor pharmacology
• GPCR and cell-signaling research
• neuroscience and behavioral studies
• peptide structure-activity analysis

Species, terminal amidation, D-amino-acid configuration, disulfide connectivity and affinity labels are part of the exact reagent identity and should be preserved when comparing published assays.
