Met-Enkephalin is a synthetic form of the naturally occurring opioid peptide metenkephalin. It acts as an agonist at several opioid receptors, including the zeta- and delta-opioid receptors, and to a lesser extent the mu-opioid receptor. This peptide plays a role in modulating pain and memory and is involved in various physiological processes.

Common Indications/Treatments

  • Modulates Memory Responses: May enhance cognitive functions related to memory.

  • Aids in Tissue Growth and Regeneration: Supports repair and growth of tissues.

  • Modulates Immune System: Can influence immune responses, potentially reducing inflammation.

  • Helps with Depression: Offers potential benefits for mood regulation.

  • Relieves Pain: Provides analgesic effects and can alleviate pain.

  • Improves GI Movement: Helps in regulating gastrointestinal motility.

How Does Met-Enkephalin Work?

Met-Enkephalin binds to opioid receptors, including the zeta- and delta-opioid receptors, leading to several effects:

  • Analgesic Effect: Reduces pain and inhibits neuropathic pain.

  • Tissue Growth and Regeneration: Enhances repair and growth through interaction with the opioid growth factor receptor (OGFR).

  • Immune Modulation: Activation of delta-opioid receptors on immune cells may reduce inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and leukocyte proliferation.

  • GI Regulation: Affects gastrointestinal motility by inhibiting muscle contractility.
