• Nombre: [Leu5]-Enkephalin Heavy
• Sinónimos: H-YGGF^L-OH
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: Leu-enkephalin is one of the two forms of enkephalin pentapeptides- the other is met-enkephalin. Enkephalins are found in the thalamus of the brain and in some parts of the spinal cord that transmit pain impulses. In the spinal cord, enkephalins inhibit painful sensations by reacting with specific receptor sites on the sensory nerve endings. The tyrosine residue at position 1 of Leu-Enkephalin is thought to be analogous to the 3-hydroxyl group on morphine. Leu-enkephalin has agonistic actions at both the μ- and θ-opioid receptors, with significantly greater preference for θ-opioid receptors.
