Acid acetone extracts of caudate nucleus from bovine brain were found to contain an amidated opioid octapeptide with the following structure: Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met-Arg-Arg-Val-NH2. The peptide has been named metorphamide. Bovine metorphamide appears to be derived by proteolytic cleavage from proenkephalin, the
