Product Information
Name:(Met(O)5)-Enkephalin
Synonyms:
- H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met(O)-OH H-YGGF(MetO)-OH
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Met-enkephalin is a molecule that is formed from two of the three parts of the endorphin molecule, which are Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe and Met(O)OH. It is a neurotransmitter that has been shown to inhibit pain in humans and animals. In coelomocytes, met-enkephalin binds to receptors on the cell membrane and inhibits the release of dopamine by binding to dopamine receptors. The sulfoxide group of this molecule can be reduced to form enkephalinase, which is an enzyme that cleaves Met(O)OH from the peptide chain. This process is not known to occur in humans or other mammals. Met-enkephalin has been localized in ganglia cells in animals, but not humans. It has also been found in messenger RNA (mRNA) for translation into protein, but it does not appear to be translated into protein in humans or other mammals.
