| Immunogen | Synthetic human Met-enkephalin peptide (237-241) conjugated to BSA. |
| Immunogen Region | 237-241 |
| Immunogen Sequence | Human |
| Specificity | Human; mouse; rat. Met-Enkephalin is highly conserved so cross-reactivity with other species is expected. Cross-reactivity with other opioid peptides is as follows: with Leu-enkephalin 5.8%; with beta-lipotropin 0.01%; with beta-endorphin 0.01%. |
Additional Info
| Tissue Specificity | ACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. O-glycosylated.reducing sugar is probably N-acetylgalactosamine. |
| Function | Corticotropin: Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha: Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Melanocyte-stimulating hormone beta: Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes. Beta-endorphin: Endogenous orexigenic opiate. Met-enkephalin: Endogenous opiate. |
