δ Opioid Receptor/DOR |
[Met5]-Enkephalin at 0.1 nM, 10 nM, and 1 μM significantly reduces the total number of glial cells in culture[1]. [Met5]-Enkephalin, amide acts via δ-opioid receptor to inhibit pelvic nerve-evoked contractions of cat distal colon. [Met5]-enkephalin causes concentration-dependent, reversible inhibition of pelvic nerve-evoked contractions, with an IC50 value of 2.2 nM. [Met5]enkephalin at a concentration (3 nM) which produces a large inhibition of neurogenic contractions, has no effect on contractions to exogenous acetylcholine[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
