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.

Enkephalin-containing polypeptides are potent inhibitors of enkephalin degradation
Peptides, 1983Enkephalin-containing polypeptides derived from pro-enkephalin A, pro-enkephalin B, or pro-opiomelanocortin were inhibitors of enkephalin degradation by aminoenkephalinases purified from cytosol or membranes. Of the peptides, Argo-Met-enkephalin was the most potent inhibitor for the aminoenkephalinases, with an IC50 of about 0.6 microM, it was more ...

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.

Spontaneous inactivation of enkephalin
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1978Summary Dilute solutions of enkephalin are not stable upon prolonged storage. A new peak of UV absorption (at 325 nm) gradually appears. This change in spectral properties is accompanied by an alteration in the chromatographic pattern as well as the spontaneous modification of the tyrosyl residue of the enkephalin molecule.

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.

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,

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.

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.

Enkephalin analogs for multivalent ligand systems, bivalent enkephalins, multivalent enkephalins on polymers, multivalent ligands on vesicles, simultaneous activation of two different receptor systems, and cell interactions of enkephalin/polypeptide conjugates are described.
