The endogenous ligand for \u03b4 -receptor is enkephalin, and that for \u03ba -receptor is dynorphin. Although opiate alkaloids morphine is well-known for the \u03bc-selective and potent ligand, endogenous ligand &#8220;endogenous morphine&#8221; has never reported.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, endogenous agonists for the \u03bc-opiate receptor, were first isolated from bovine brain[<i>Nature<\/i>, <b>386<\/b>, 499 (1997)]. These are endomorphin-1; Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH<sub>2<\/sub>, and endomorphin-2; Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH<sub>2<\/sub>. The isolation of relatively large amounts of endomorphin-1 and endomorphin-2 from human brain cortex has also reported[<i>Peptides<\/i>, <b>18<\/b>, 1635 (1997)].<\/p>\n<p>The immunoreactivity for endomorphin was also detected in rat brain near the \u03bc-opiate receptor containing neurons, but the molecular form of the rat peptide has not yet been elucidated[<i>Peptides<\/i>, <b>18<\/b>, 1641 (1997)]. These observations may be considered to indicate that endomorphin-1 and 2 are common \u03bc-opiate agonists in mammals. In addition to the originally discovered \u03bc-opiate agonistic function, these peptides have been reported to show hypotensive activity and Ca<sup>2+<\/sup> channel current inhibitory activity[<i>Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun.<\/i>, <b>235<\/b>, 567 (1997)]. Endomorphins would be useful for the study of pain perception together with some other biological functions in the body.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/endmrphn.gif\" alt=\"endmrphn\" width=\"283\" \/><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 90%\" border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr align=\"center\">\n<td>Code<\/td>\n<td>Compound<\/td>\n<td>Package<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"\/en\/catalog\/f-cat?k_code=4333-v\">4333-v<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Endomorphin-1<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0.5 mg vial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"\/en\/catalog\/f-cat?k_code=4334-v\">4334-v<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Endomorphin-2<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\">0.5 mg vial<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The discovery and isolation of a potent and selective agonist for the m-opiate receptor from brain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4966,"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118\/revisions\/4966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.peptide.co.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
