Cat. No.: HY-P3517
Handling Instructions

β-Endorphin, an endogenous opioid neuropeptide, is an opioid receptor agonist. β-Endorphin binds preferentially to μ-opioid receptors and is produced in certain neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system and is one of three endorphins produced in humans. β-Endorphin can be used to reduce stress and maintain homeostasis in the body and is involved in neurological pain perception regulation.

Description

β-Endorphin, an endogenous opioid neuropeptide, is an opioid receptor agonist. β-Endorphin binds preferentially to μ-opioid receptors and is produced in certain neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system and is one of three endorphins produced in humans. β-Endorphin can be used to reduce stress and maintain homeostasis in the body and is involved in neurological pain perception regulation[1].

In Vivo

β-Endorphin (0.03 to 1.00 μg/kg, i.p., once) impairs retention of a one-trial inhibitory avoidance task in a dose-dependent manner in male Swiss mice immediately post-training. Also, it works in the process of memory consolidation[1].

MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.

Animal Model: Adult male Swiss mice (22-25 g)[1]
Dosage: 0.03, 0.10, 0.30 or 1.00 μg/kg
Administration: i.p., once
Result: Significantly impaired retention at the doses of 0.03 and 0.10 μg/kg while not significantly affect retention as compared with the control group at the two higher doses of 0.30 and 1.00 μg/kg , but tended to increase retention as compared with the dose of 0.10 μg/kg.
Increased latencies to step-through at the two higher doses of 0.30 and 1.00 μg/kg but no effect at lower doses.

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.
