Leu-enkephalin is a pentapeptide comprising L-tyrosine, glycine, glycine, L-phenylalanine and L-leucine residues joined in sequence by peptide linkages.
Name: Leu-Enkephalin; [Leu5]-Enkephalin; 58822-25-6; Leucine Enkephalin; Enkephalin; Enkephalin L
CAS No.: 58822-25-6
Peptide Sequence: H-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-OH
Molecular Formula: C28H37N5O7
Molecular Weight: 555.6
Appearance: White Lyophilized powder
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.
