Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Enkephalin-met, ala(2)- is a synthetic analog of methionine enkephalin. | [Uses]
[D-Ala2]-Met-Enkephalin, an opioid peptide, is a potent opioid agonist. [D-Ala2]-Met-Enkephalin inhibits ACh-induced and suckling-induced oxytocin (OT) release[1][2]. | [in vivo]
[D-Ala2]-Met-Enkephalin (0.01-1μg; ICV; once) inhibits suckling-induced oxytocin (OT) release in lactating mice[1]. Animal Model: | Lactating rats[1] | Dosage: | 0.01, 0.1 and 1 μg | Administration: | Intracerebroventrical injection | Result: | Inhibited ACh-induced and suckling-induced OT release. |
