Methionine-enkephalin(met-enkephalin)-, leucine-enkephalin(leu-enkephalin)-, methionine-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7(met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe)- and methionine-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8(met-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu)-like immunoreactivities(-LI) were studied in 16 pheochromocytomas by radioimmunoassays (RIAs) for these four opioid peptides. Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe-LI

The assay of Met-enkephalin aminopeptidase with [125I]Met-enkephalin
Journal of Biochemical and Biophysical Methods, 1982Presented here are procedural modifications which permit the utilization of 125I-labeled Met-enkephalin as substrate in the assay of rat brain enkephalin aminopeptidase. Th hydrolysis of enkephalin is monitored by the release of [125I]tyrosine separated on Porapak Q.

Morphine is known to produce mydriasis in mice. We have found that enkephalins caused a similar effect. Morphine was twice as active as D-Ala-D-Leu-enkephalin (BW-180C), 5 times as active as Met-enkephalin and 7 times as active as Leu-enkephalin. The time course of the effect was shortest for the enkephalins ( t 1/2 = 8-12 min), intermediate for BW ...

Potent tetrapeptide enkephalins
Life Sciences, 1981Abstract Small peptides with opiate-like activity have generally had structures closely resembling that of the opioid pentapeptide enkephalin: Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-COOH. Single deletions of any one of the amino acids has been demonstrated to reduce opiate activity drastically.

Enkephalins and nigrostriatal function
Neurology, 1978Unilateral lesions of the substantia nigra were made with 6-hydroxydopamine in rats. In this model, drugs such as naloxone, which block endogenous enkephalin receptors, potentiated agents with postsynaptic dopaminergic actions, while antagonizing agents with presynaptic dopaminergic actions.

SUMMARY1. A radio‐immunoassay (RIA) for methionine‐enkephalin sulfoxide was developed and was used to measure methionine‐enkephalin, after oxidation, in the rat brain.2. The RIA was performed together with assays that use commercially available met‐and leu‐enkephalin antisera.3.

Two penta-peptides with morphine-like properties have recently been found in the nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. These peptides known as enkephalins are unevenly distributed in the brain, the highest concentration being in the globus pallidus.

On the Origin of Leu-Enkephalin and Met-Enkephalin in the Rat Neurohypophysis
Endocrinology, 1985The posterior lobe of the pituitary contains large amounts of Leu- and Met-enkephalin (LE and ME, respectively). A marked depletion of ME (81.9%) and LE (94.5%) in the posterior pituitary occurred after transection of the pituitary stalk. This indicates that most, if not all, of the enkephalins are in processes of central neurons. In the present study,

Enkephalin in the goldfish retina
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 1986Enkephalin-like immunoreactive amacrine cells were visualized using the highly sensitive avidin-biotin method. The somas of these cells were situated in the inner nuclear and ganglion cell layers. Enkephalin-stained processes were observed in layers 1, 3, and 5 of the inner plexiform layer.

Cerebral application of enkephalins
Experientia, 1977Implantation of enkephalins A or B into the ventral thalamus or injection into the lateral ventricle of rats evoked only weak signs of stereotyped behavior, but did not cause gnawing.
