Product Information

• Name: [D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide
• Synonyms: Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Met-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: [D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide is a peptide that belongs to the group of opioid peptides. It acts as an agonist and binds to the µ-opioid receptor. This receptor is involved in transmitting signals from outside the cell to inside the cell by regulating ion channels and controlling protein interactions. The binding of [D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide to this receptor results in an inhibitory effect on neurotransmitter release, leading to a decrease of pain sensation. It has also been shown that [D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide can act as an antagonist at other opioid receptors, such as the κ-opioid receptor.
