Descrizione

Leu-enkephalin is an opioid peptide that is a neurotransmitter in the brain. It is synthesized from the proenkephalin precursor and acts on δ-opioid receptors and kappa-opioid receptors. Leu-enkephalin has been shown to have physiological effects such as analgesia, hypothermia, hyperalgesia, and decreased gastrointestinal motility. Leu-enkephalin also inhibits voltage-dependent calcium channels in neuronal cells by binding to them with high affinity. The binding of leu-enkephalin to these channels affects their function and leads to neuronal death. Disulfide bonds are formed between cysteine residues on leu-enkephalin to stabilize this protein's structure.
