Endomorphins and related opioid peptides
2002Opioid peptides and their G-protein-coupled receptors (delta, kappa, mu) are located in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues. The opioid system has been studied to determine the intrinsic mechanism of modulation of pain and to develop uniquely effective pain-control substances with minimal abuse potential and side effects.

Opioid peptides produced in the body act as neuromodulators that modify the actions of other neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. By altering the electrical properties of their target neurons, thereby making these neurons more difficult to ...

Corticotropin-releasing hormone and opioid peptides in reproduction and stress.
Annals medicus, 1991Increased knowledge on the mechanisms whereby corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) and opioid peptides mediate the effects of stress has helped us to understand the relationship between stress and disturbed reproductive function.

Palatal myoclonus and opioid peptides
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2009We report a patient who presented palatal myoclonus (PM) after anoxic brain damage that was completely abolished by the administration of opioid agonists. This suggests the involvement of peptide systems in the development of PM.

Opioid peptides and their receptors [PDF]
, 1986 The endogenous opioid peptides belong to three groups: the endorphins, the enkephalins and the dynorphins. These three groups are clearly distinct chemical families derived from three different precursor peptides: pro-opiomelanocortin. proenkephalin and prodynorphin.

Opioid Peptides and Vasopressin
1986During the past several years, several of the neuroscience disciplines have increasingly assumed both the character and methodologies of classical molecular biology. In large part, this inundation reflects our need to investigate and understand the “pretranslational” events governing the regulation of peptide hormone and receptor expression throughout ...

Isolation of molluscan opioid peptides
Life Sciences, 1983An acid extract of neural tissues of the mollusc, Mytilus edulis, was fractionated by high-pressure chromatography. Peak fractions with retention times of that of Met-enkephalin, Leu-enkephalin and Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe were subjected to competitive displacement assays in the same neural tissues.

Opioid peptides and other Tyr‐NH2‐terminal peptides are substrates in vitro for mushroom and sepia tyrosinase, giving rise to synthetic melanins retaining the peptide moiety (opiomelanins). The melanopeptides are characterized by a total solubility in hydrophylic solvents at neutral and basic pH. Opioid peptides (enkephalins, endorphins, and esorphins),
