• Beschreibung: [D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalin is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that binds to receptors in the brain and spinal cord. It affects physiological functions such as locomotion, pain sensation, and blood pressure. Enkephalins are analogs of the natural neurotransmitter enkephalin that are synthesized by enzymatic cleavage of the latter from a larger precursor molecule called proenkephalin. [D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalin has been shown to be an effective antinociceptive agent when administered intraperitoneally or intravenously in rats. It also acts as a pressor agent and produces dextran sulfate-induced nociception in mice. The pharmacological properties of enkephalins have been shown using various analytical methods including acid analysis.
