Endomorphin

Index Endomorphin

Endomorphins are natural opioid neurotransmitters central to pain relief. [1]

12 relations: Cross-tolerance, Endomorphin-1, Endomorphin-2, Hypoalgesia, List of opioids, Melanocyte-inhibiting factor, Neurochemical, Neurotransmitter, Opioid, Opioid peptide, Opioid receptor, Tetrapeptide.

Cross-tolerance

Cross-tolerance is a phenomenon that occurs when tolerance to the effects of a certain drug produces tolerance to another drug.

Endomorphin-1

Endomorphin-1 (EM-1) (amino acid sequence Tyr-Pro-Trp-Phe-NH2) is an endogenous opioid peptide and one of the two endomorphins.

Endomorphin-2

Endomorphin-2 (EM-2) (amino acid sequence Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) is an endogenous opioid peptide and one of the two endomorphins.

Hypoalgesia

Hypoalgesia or hypalgesia denotes a decreased sensitivity to painful stimuli.

List of opioids

This is a list of opioids, opioid antagonists and inverse agonists.

Melanocyte-inhibiting factor

Melanocyte-inhibiting factor (also known as Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2, Melanostatin, MSH release–inhibiting hormone or MIF-1) is an endogenous peptide fragment derived from cleavage of the hormone oxytocin, but having generally different actions in the body.

Neurochemical

A neurochemical is a small organic molecule or peptide that participates in neural activity.

New!!: Endomorphin and Neurochemical · See more »

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

New!!: Endomorphin and Neurotransmitter · See more »

Opioid

Opioids are substances that act on opioid receptors to produce morphine-like effects.

New!!: Endomorphin and Opioid · See more »

Opioid peptide

Opioid peptides are peptides that bind to opioid receptors in the brain; opiates and opioids mimic the effect of these peptides.

New!!: Endomorphin and Opioid peptide · See more »

Opioid receptor

Opioid receptors are a group of inhibitory G protein-coupled receptors with opioids as ligands.

New!!: Endomorphin and Opioid receptor · See more »

Tetrapeptide

A tetrapeptide is a peptide, classified as an oligopeptide, since it only consists of four amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
