Beschreibung

Met-Enkephalin-Arg-Phe amide H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-Arg-Phe is a subunit of the endogenous opioid peptide Met-enkephalin. It is a proteolytic cleavage product of proenkephalin A and is also known as Tyr2, Phe2, or Arg6. Met-enkephalin has been shown to participate in signal transduction pathways that regulate blood pressure and exocrine secretion. Metenkephalin is an amide containing two cysteine residues with a hydrophobic side chain, which can bind metal ions such as calcium ions. Metenkephalin binds to the membrane of cells, altering membrane potential and naloxone binding sites.
Met enkephalin has been shown to be involved in serotonin release from platelets and inhibition of serotonin uptake by platelets.
