Met-Enkephalin is a pentapeptide that is of significant interest in the field of neuroscience and biochemistry for its role as a naturally occurring opioid peptide. In research, it is extensively used to study the binding and interaction of opioid peptides with opioid receptors in the brain. As a ligand for these receptors, Met-Enkephalin is involved in studies aiming to understand pain modulation, stress response, and reward pathways. Furthermore, it serves as a model peptide in the exploration of peptide-receptor dynamics, which is fundamental in elucidating signal transduction mechanisms within the central nervous system. Met-Enkephalin is also utilized in comparative studies of peptide degradation, investigating the stability of opioid peptides in biological systems and the enzymes involved in their metabolism.
