Leu-Enkephalin Overview

It is an endogenous opioid peptide produced in vertebrate species, including rodents, primates and humans that results from decomposition of proenkephalin or dynorphin and exhibits antinociceptive properties. It has a role as a delta-opioid receptor agonist, a mu-opioid receptor agonist, a neurotransmitter, an analgesic, a human metabolite and a rat metabolite. It derives from a L-tyrosine, a glycine, a L-phenylalanine and a L-leucine.
