Quantitative binding studies resolved two high-affinity [3H][D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin binding sites in rat brain membranes depleted of mu binding sites by pretreatment with the irreversible agent BIT. The two binding sites had lower (delta ncx-2, Ki = 96.6 nM) and higher (delta ncx-1, Ki = 1.55 nM) affinity for DPDPE. The ligand-selectivity profile of the delta ncx-1 site was that of a classic delta binding site. The ligand-selectivity profile of the delta ncx-2 site was neither mu- or delta-like. The Ki values of selected agents for the delta ncx-2 site were: [pCl]DPDPE (3.9 nM), DPLPE (140 nM), and DAMGO (2.6 nM). Under these assay conditions, [3H][D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin binding to the cells expressing the cloned mu receptor is very low and pretreatment of cell membranes with BIT almost completely inhibits [3H]DAMGO and [3H][D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin binding. Intracerebroventricular administration of antisense DNA to the cloned delta receptor selectively decreased [3H][D-Ala2,D-Leu5]enkephalin binding to the delta ncx-1 site. Administration of buprenorphine to rats 24 h prior to preparation of membranes differentially affected mu, delta ncx-1, and delta ncx-2 binding sites. Viewed collectively, these studies have identified a novel non-mu- non-delta-like binding site in rat brain.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001923 Brain Chemistry Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D002047 Buprenorphine A derivative of the opioid alkaloid THEBAINE that is a more potent and longer lasting analgesic than MORPHINE. It appears to act as a partial agonist at mu and kappa opioid receptors and as an antagonist at delta receptors. The lack of delta-agonist activity has been suggested to account for the observation that buprenorphine tolerance may not develop with chronic use. 6029-M,Buprenex,Buprenorphine Hydrochloride,Buprex,Prefin,RX-6029-M,Subutex,Temgesic,Temgésic,6029 M,6029M,Hydrochloride, Buprenorphine,RX 6029 M,RX6029M
D004745 Enkephalins One of the three major families of endogenous opioid peptides. The enkephalins are pentapeptides that are widespread in the central and peripheral nervous systems and in the adrenal medulla. Enkephalin
