摘要: Endogenous opioid peptides derive from four different precursor proteins. Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) yields ACTH and endorphins, mainly β-endorphin (β-END). Proenkephalin (PENK) generates enkephalins (ENK), predominantly Met-enkephalin (MENK) Leu-enkephalin (LENK). The proteolysis of prodynorphin (PDYN) results in the formation dynorphin A (DYN A) B B) (Przewlocki 2004; Przewlocki Przewlocka 2005). Other POMC derivatives are endomorphins which cleavage products a larger molecule that yet has not been identified (Fichna et al. 2007).
