Isolation of the opioid heptapeptide Met-enkephalin [Arg6,Phe7] from bovine adrenal medullary granules and striatum

A S Stern et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

Bovine adrenal chromaffin granules have been shown to contain, in addition to Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin, at least three small peptides with opiate receptor activity. One of these adrenal peptides has been purified to homogeneity and its sequence was shown to be Met-enkephalin-[Arg6,Phe&]. This heptapeptide was also found in beef striatal extracts in amounts comparable to those of Leu-enkephalin.
