(D-Ala2)-Met-Enkephalin

Description:

(D-Ala2)-Met-Enkephalin is a synthetic peptide that belongs to the class of endogenous opioid peptides, specifically a derivative of enkephalins. It is characterized by its structure, which includes a sequence of amino acids that contribute to its biological activity. This peptide is known for its role in modulating pain and stress responses in the body by binding to opioid receptors, particularly the mu-opioid receptor. The substitution of D-alanine at the second position enhances its stability and potency compared to its natural counterpart, Met-enkephalin. (D-Ala2)-Met-Enkephalin exhibits analgesic properties and has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications in pain management and neuroprotection. Additionally, it is soluble in water and exhibits a relatively low molecular weight, which facilitates its interaction with biological systems. Its pharmacological profile makes it a subject of interest in research related to opioid receptors and their effects on the central nervous system.
