Description

Endomorphin 2, a high affinity, highly selective agonist of the μ-opioid receptor, displays reasonable affinities for kappa3 binding sites, with Ki value between 20 and 30 nM.

IC50 & Target

μ Opioid Receptor/MOR

 

In Vitro

Endomorphin 2 is an endogenous opioid peptide and one of the two Endomorphins. It is a high affinity, highly selective agonist of the μ-opioid receptor, and along with Endomorphin 1 (EM-2). The two Endomorphins display reasonable affinities for kappa3 binding sites, with Ki values between 20 and 30 nM. Endomorphin 1 and Endomorphin 2 compete both μ1 and μ2 receptor sites quite potently. Endomorphins have little appreciable affinity for either delta or kappa1 binding sites, with Ki values greater than 500 nM[1].

In Vivo

Both Endomorphin 1 and Endomorphin 2 are potent analgesics with peak effects seen at 10 and 15 min, respectively. All subsequent studies are performed at peak effect. Both compounds are fully active supraspinally and spinally, with no indication of ceiling effects. Endomorphin 1 is significantly more potent spinally than supraspinally and, at the spinal level, it is significantly more potent than Endomorphin 2. The response of both agents are readily reversed by naloxone. β-FNA, a highly selective μ antagonist, effectively reverses the actions of both Endomorphins. Neither compound have analgesic activity in CXBK mice at a dose which produced over 70% analgesia in control CD-1 mice[1].

Peptide Solubility and Storage Guidelines:

1.  Calculate the length of the peptide.

2.  Calculate the overall charge of the entire peptide according to the following table:

  Contents Assign value
Acidic amino acid Asp (D), Glu (E), and the C-terminal -COOH. -1
Basic amino acid Arg (R), Lys (K), His (H), and the N-terminal -NH2 +1
Neutral amino acid Gly (G), Ala (A), Leu (L), Ile (I), Val (V), Cys (C), Met (M), Thr (T), Ser (S), Phe (F), Tyr (Y), Trp (W), Pro (P), Asn (N), Gln (Q) 0

3.  Recommended solution:

Overall charge of peptide Details
Negative (<0) 1.  Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2.  If water fails, add NH4OH (<50 μL).
3.  If the peptide still does not dissolve, add DMSO (50-100 μL) to solubilize the peptide.
Positive (>0) 1.  Try to dissolve the peptide in water first.
2.  If water fails, try dissolving the peptide in a 10%-30% acetic acid solution.
3.  If the peptide still does not dissolve, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO.
Zero (=0) 1.  Try to dissolve the peptide in organic solvent (acetonitrile, methanol, etc.) first.
2.  For very hydrophobic peptides, try dissolving the peptide in a small amount of DMSO, and then dilute the solution with water to the desired concentration.

Kinase Assay
[1]

125I-Endomorphin 1 or 125I-Endomorphin 2 binding (0.2 nM) is performed in potassium phosphate buffer (50 mM, pH 7.4; 0.5 mL) with MgCl2 (5 mM) at a tissue concentration of 10 mg wet weight/mL for brains or 0.06 mg protein/mL for MOR-1/CHO cells. Specific binding is determined in the presence and absence of either 1 μM of the corresponding unlabeled peptide. The entire mixture is then incubated at 25°C for 1 hr and filtered over no. 32 glass fiber filters which have been presoaked for 1 hr in 0.5% polyethylenimine and washed twice with ice cold Tris buffer using a Brandel cell harvester. The filters are then counted on a Packard Cobra gamma counter. The other opioid receptor binding assays are performed[1] .

Animal Administration
[1]

Mice[1]
Groups of mice are treated i.c.v. with Endomorphin 1 (12 μg) or Endomorphin 2 (3 μg) 15 min before a 0.5-cc charcoal meal (2.5% gum tragacanth,10% activated charcoal in water). The mice are killed 30 min later and the distance the charcoal traveled is measured.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
