Exposure to exogenous enkephalins disrupts reproductive development in the Eastern lubber grasshopper, Romalea microptera (Insecta: Orthoptera). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Enkephalins play a major role in reproductive physiology in crustaceans; however their role in reproductive development in insects is largely unknown. We investigated the effect of exposure to exogenous leucine-enkephalin (Leu-Enk), methionine-enkephalin

‘Acetaldehyde‐enkephalins’: elucidation of the structure of the acetaldehyde adducts of methionine‐enkephalin and leucine‐enkephalin [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1980 The two major endogenous opioid pentapeptides, methionine-enkephalin and leucine-enkephalin [ 1,2] rapidly react with acetaldehyde, under very mild conditions, to give an ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin’ adduct, referred to as ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin [Met’] and ‘acetaldehyde-enkephalin [Leu”], respectively 231.

Opioid Receptors in Immune and Glial Cells-Implications for Pain Control [PDF]
, 2020 Opioid receptors comprise μ (MOP), δ (DOP), κ (KOP), and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NOP) receptors. Opioids are agonists of MOP, DOP, and KOP receptors, whereas nociceptin/orphanin FQ (N/OFQ) is an agonist of NOP receptors.
