Leu-enkephalin

Description:

Leu-enkephalin is a naturally occurring pentapeptide that functions as an endogenous opioid peptide in the body. It is composed of five amino acids: leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, and two glycine residues. This peptide is primarily involved in pain modulation and has a role in the body's response to stress and emotional regulation. Leu-enkephalin binds to opioid receptors, particularly the delta and mu receptors, which are part of the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. Its structure allows it to exhibit analgesic properties, making it significant in pain management research. Additionally, Leu-enkephalin is known for its neuroprotective effects and potential influence on mood and behavior. The CAS number 73563-78-7 uniquely identifies this compound in chemical databases, facilitating its study and application in pharmacology and biochemistry. Overall, Leu-enkephalin is a critical component of the body's natural pain relief system and continues to be a subject of interest in therapeutic research.
