Description
Beta-endorphin is an endogenous opioid peptide neurotransmitter found in the neurons of both the central and peripheral nervous system. Beta-endorphin is a peptide, 31 amino acids long, resulting from processing of the precursor proopiomelanocortin (POMC). It is an agonist of the opioid receptors, with evidence suggesting it serves as the endogenous ligand of the u-opioid receptor, the same receptor to which the chemicals extracted from opium, such as morphine, have their analgesic and addictive effects.
Immunogen
Endorphin beta antibody was raised in rabbit using a synthetic protein derived from human beta endorphin conjugated to BSA as the immunogen.
