[D-Arg2,Leu5]enkephalin and its analogues, shortened from the C-terminus, were studied in a rat brain membrane fraction with the aid of radioreceptor analysis. The interaction between these compounds and the peripheral opiate receptors of isolated organs (guinea pig ileum and mouse vas deferens) was also investigated. The ethyl ester of the [D-Arg2]tripeptide retains approximately 10% of the mu-receptor activity of leucine-enkephalin. This implies that for interaction with the mu-subclass of opiate receptors there is no requirement for a second aromatic ring in addition to the tyramine group in the minimal active moiety of the enkephalin molecule.

D011957 Receptors, Opioid Cell membrane proteins that bind opioids and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. The endogenous ligands for opioid receptors in mammals include three families of peptides, the enkephalins, endorphins, and dynorphins. The receptor classes include mu, delta, and kappa receptors. Sigma receptors bind several psychoactive substances, including certain opioids, but their endogenous ligands are not known.
