| Product Name | Human Beta-Endorphin (_-EP) ELISA Kit |
|---|---|
| Description | Beta-endorphin is an endogenous opioid peptide neurotransmitter found in the neurons of both the central and peripheral nervous system.Sequence: "Tyr Gly Gly Phe Met Thr Ser Glu Lys Ser Gln Thr Pro Leu Val Thr Leu Phe Lys Asn Ala Ile Ile Lys Asn Ala Tyr Lys Lys Gly Glu". _-endorphin is a peptide, 31 amino acids long, resulting from processing of the precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC). (Note, POMC also gives rise to other peptide hormones, including ACTH , as well _- and _-MSH, resulting from intracellular processing by internal enzymes known as prohormone convertases.)_-endorphin is found in neurons of the hypothalamus, as well as the pituitary gland.It is an agonist of the opioid receptors, with evidence suggesting it serves as the endogenous ligand of the _-opioid receptor, the same receptor to which the chemicals extracted from opium, such as morphine and codeine, have their analgesic and addictive effects. This assay has high sensitivity and excellent specificity for detection of Human B-EP. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human B-EP and analogues was observed. |
