Description

D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide is a potent endogenous opioid peptide that binds to opioid receptors and has been shown to have both antinociceptive and depressant effects. It has been shown to be effective in a model system of pain, acting on the descending antinociceptive pathway from the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) to the spinal cord. D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide has also been observed to inhibit locomotor activity in CD1 mice at sub-effective doses. D-Ala2,Met5]-Enkephalinamide has been shown to act through activation of both G protein-coupled mu opioids receptors and G protein-coupled delta opioid receptors.
