Met-enkephalin was first discovered in 1975 by John Hughes and Hans Kosterlitz at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland. They were searching for endogenous ligands for the opioid receptors, which had been discovered a few years earlier. Hughes and Kosterlitz isolated met-enkephalin from pig brains and found that it had potent opiate-like activity. They also […]
Met-Enkephalin Peptide History Read More »
Met-enkephalin is a naturally occurring opioid peptide that has opioid effects of a relatively short duration. It is one of the two forms of enkephalin, the other being leu-enkephalin. The enkephalins are considered to be the primary endogenous ligands of the δ-opioid receptor, due to their high potency and selectivity for the site over the
