Beschreibung

General description

β-Endorphin is a potent endogenous opioid protein that is derived from propiomelanocortin, a protein found in the brain, anterior pituitary, skin, immune system, and other peripheral sites. β-endorphin, however, is localized to the brain and spinal cord. It is one of the major opioid peptides, and is the derivative of the C-terminal of β-lipotropin. It is made of 31 amino acids.[1][2]

Application

Human β-Endorphin is suitable for-

• radioimmunoassay to determine the portal blood β-endorphin levels in lactating ewes, and its relation to bouts of suckling[3]
• to assess the melanogenesis, proliferation and dendricity of melanocytes[4]
• to assess the expression of μ-opioid receptor, in human skin organ culture, on exposure to β-endorphin[5]
• to examine the effects on cardiovascular functions of β-endorphin injection nucleus in amygdaloideus centralis (AC), into either nucleus paraventricularis (NPV) or rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVL)[6]

Biochem/physiol Actions

β-Endorphin acts as a ligand for both μ and δ opioid receptors in different parts of the brain.[1] It is released in response to painful stimuli and has potent antinociceptive activity. When given supraspinally, this activity is mediated through its action on ε-opioid receptors in brain that results in the release of Met-enkephalin. This activity is also mediated by its interaction with δ2-opioid receptors in the spinal cord. When introduced intrathecally, this function is an outcome of its interaction with μ and κ-opioid receptors in the rat.[7] In autoimmune disorders, the elevated production of cytokines results in the production of β-endorphin, in pituitary and lymphocytes. This acts as a negative regulator of antibody production, and is thus, implicated in autoimmune diseases.[8]
