TR-D017339 - d-ala2-leu-enkephalin-h-tyr-d-ala-gly-phe-leu-oh | 64963-01-5

(D-Ala2)-Leu-Enkephalin H-Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH is a peptide that is a member of the endorphin family of endogenous analgesic compounds. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties in clinical studies and to suppress bacterial growth in vitro. The compound has been implicated in the regulation of glucose homeostasis, as well as having an effect on body mass index and skin cells. (D-Ala2)-Leu-Enkephalin H-Tyr-D-Ala-Gly-Phe-Leu-(OH) is thought to modulate the activity of Toll like receptor 4, which is involved in inflammation and immune response.

Corresponds to pentapeptide-18 used in cosmetic preparations for reducing wrinkles caused by muscle contractions.
