description:

[Leu5]-Enkephalin, naturally present in mammalian brain, is one of the endogenous pentapeptides with morphine-like properties. [Leu5]-Enkephalin exhibits agonistic actions at both the δ- and μ-opioid receptors, with substantially greater preference for the former, but shows little effect on the κ-opioid receptor. In humans, the δ-opioid receptor is most heavily expressed in basal ganglia and neocortical regions, and associated with pain, depression, as well as learning and memory. [Leu5]-Enkephalin, along with the other endogenous pentapeptide, [Met5]-enkephalin, have been found to behave as potent, yet short-lived opiates in vivo.
