MetEnk
MetEnk is a hypothetical peptide with a sequence derived from the Met-Enkephalin opioid peptide. Met-Enkephalin is a naturally occurring pentapeptide in the brain and pituitary gland that acts as a neurotransmitter and hormone, binding to mu-opioid receptors to produce analgesia and euphoria. MetEnk is not a naturally occurring molecule and is typically studied in research settings to explore structure-activity relationships of opioid peptides or to investigate potential therapeutic targets.
Research involving MetEnk or similar synthetic analogs may focus on their binding affinity to opioid receptors,
