Application

Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2, YPWF-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2, YPFF-NH2) are endogeneous opioid tetrapeptides with high affinity and specificity for the μ (mu) opioid receptor. Endomorphin-1 and 2 may be used to study the differential action and metabolism of these opioids.

The opioid peptides are involved in the regulation of neuroendocrine functions in vertebrates. Nonetheless, the influence of an opioid peptide, dynorphin A (DYN), on reproduction in fish is understudied. The aim of this work was to study the influence of

Centrally acting plant opiates, such as morphine, are the most frequently used analgesics for the relief of severe pain, even though their undesired side effects are serious limitation to their usefulness. The search for new therapeutics that could replace morphine

Opioid 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

Endomorphin-1 (Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) are two endogenous opioid peptides with high affinity and remarkable selectivity for the mu-opioid receptor. The neuroanatomical distribution of endomorphins reflects their potential endogenous role in many major physiological processes, which include perception of pain

Endomorphins (EM-1 and EM-2) are the tetrapeptides involved in pain and neuroendocrine responses with a high affinity for μ-opioid receptors in vertebrates. However, their role in fish reproduction is not clear. The aim of this study was to investigate the
