Enkephalinase activity in rat peripheral organs

Abstract

Hydrolysis of ([3H]Leu5)-enkephalin into the tripeptide [3H]Tyr-Gly-Gly can be detected using particulate fractions from a variety of peripheral organs. In some tissues, e.g. exocrine and endocrine glands, this dipeptidyl carboxypeptidase ("enkephalinase") activity is even higher than in brain.
