    [Leu5]-Enkephalin (10-30 µM; 24 h) significantly ameliorated the OGD-induced reduction in ARPE-19 cell viability.

    [Leu5]-Enkephalin purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: World J Acupunct Moxibustion. 2025 Jun 3.

    Impacts of naltrindole and enkephalins treatment on cell viability, morphological changes, and apoptosis rates in OGD/R-injured ARPE-19 cells (mean ± SEM, n = 4 or 5 replicates per group, scale bar = 200 µm). The results showed that following treatment with [Leu5]-Enkephalin (MEK), the cell count increased significantly, and cell morphology reverted to a normal state.

    [Leu5]-Enkephalin purchased from MedChemExpress. Usage Cited in: World J Acupunct Moxibustion. 2025 Jun 3.

    Effects of naloxone and enkephalin on DOR expression in total cellular and membrane protein fractions of ARPE-19 cells under OGD/R (mean ± SEM, n = 4 independent experiments). The results showed that treatment with [Leu5]-Enkephalin (MEK) increased DOR levels in both total proteins (P <0.05) and membrane proteins (P < 0.001).

    In Vitro

    Enkephalins (met- , leu-enkephalin, and enkephalin 8) and dynorphins are two classes of opioid peptides found in the spinal dorsal horn. Mu, delta, and kappa are three major subtypes of opioid receptors. Enkephalins are putative endogenous ligands for delta opioid receptors, and dynorphins are endogenous ligands for the kappa opioid receptors. Three receptor types resembling the vertebrate δ- and κ-type opioid receptors have been characterized pharmacologically in nervous tissues (e.g. Ki=18.9 nM for Leu-enkephalin) and localized by autoradiography at CHH terminals in the SG of C. maenas[1].
    Leucine-enkephalin is a pentapeptides with morphine like properties, naturally present in mammalian brain[2].

    • 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.
