Enkephalin-inactivating enzymes.

Folia Pharmacologica Japonica, 1993
The inhibitory effects of opioid peptides such as [Met5]-enkephalin and [Met5]-enkephalin-Arg6 on the electrically-evoked contractions of guinea-pig ileum, mouse vas deferens and rat vas deferens were enhanced by aminopeptidase inhibitors such as amastatin and bestatin, a peptidyl dipeptidase A inhibitor like captopril, and endopeptidase-24.11 ...

Immunocytochemical localization of Enkephalins in the brain of the African lungfish Protopterus annectens, provides evidence for differential distribution of Met-Enkephalin and Leu-Enkephalin [PDF]

, 1998
The distribution of various opioid peptides derived from proenkephalin A and B was studied in the brain of the African lungfish Protopterus annectens by using a series of antibodies directed against mammalian opioid peptides.

Enkephalins and Pain Modulation: Mechanisms of Action and Therapeutic Perspectives

Biomolecules
Enkephalins, a subclass of endogenous opioid peptides, play a pivotal role in pain modulation. Enkephalins primarily exert their effects through opioid receptors located widely throughout both the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Central δ/κ opioid receptor signaling pathways mediate chronic and/or acute suckling-induced LH suppression in rats during late lactation

The Journal of Reproduction and Development
In mammals, secretion of tonic (pulsatile) gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)/luteinizing hormone (LH) is often suppressed during lactation. Suppression of GnRH/LH pulses in lactating dams is assumed to be caused by suckling stimuli and a chronic ...
