Enkephalin in the goldfish retina [PDF]

open access: possibleCellular and Molecular Neurobiology, 1986
Enkephalin-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.

On the Origin of Leu-Enkephalin and Met-Enkephalin in the Rat Neurohypophysis

Endocrinology, 1985
The 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,

Stimulation of dopamine synthesis in caudate nucleus by intrastriatal enkephalins and antagonism by naloxone.

Science, 1978
The intraventricular injection of methionine-enkephalin (50 to 100 micrograms) or [d-Ala2]-methionine-enkephalinamide (1.5 to 12 micrograms), a synthetic enkephalin analog resistant to enzyme degradation, caused a marked dose-dependent increase in ...

Bradykinin and enkephalins

1990
Morphine, an opium alkaloid derived from the poppy, Papaver somniferum, has been one of the most commonly used analgesics in both clinical and experimental fields despite its addictive properties. In 1975, after a specific opiate receptor had been demonstrated, two endogenous opioid peptides, methionine enkephalin (Met-enk) and leucine enkephalin (Leu ...

Potent tetrapeptide enkephalins

Life Sciences, 1981
Abstract 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.

Enkephalin

2016
Enkephalins are endogenous opioid pentapeptides that are produced mainly in the central nervous system, adrenal medulla, and other peripheral tissues. There are two structurally different enkephalin peptides: Met-enkephalin (YGGFM), and Leu-enkephalin (YGGFL).

USE OF METHIONINE‐ENKEPHALIN SULFOXIDE AND LEUCINE‐ENKEPHALIN RADIO‐IMMUNOASSAYS FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF ENKEPHALINS IN THE RAT BRAIN

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1989
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.

The metabolic stability of the enkephalins

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1977
Abstract [Met 5 ] and [Leu 5 ]-enkephalins inhibit 3 H-naloxone binding to brain opiate receptors much more effectively at 4°C than at 25°C. At 25°C several protease inhibitors potentiate the action of the enkephalins. Bacitracin is the most effective of these.

Immunohistochemical localization of Met-enkephalin, Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8, Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 and Leu-enkephalin in human adrenal medulla and pheochromocytomas

Peptides, 1984
Immunohistochemical localization of Met-enkephalin, Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Gly7-Leu8, Met-enkephalin-Arg6-Phe7 and Leu-enkephalin was studied in human adrenal medulla and pheochromocytomas at the light and electron microscopic levels. Both adrenal medulla and pheochromocytomas (4 adrenal, 1 extra-adrenal) showed scattered or clustered cells which ...

Enkephalin-cell interactions

2000
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.
