Synthetic methionine enkephalin was conjugated to keyhole limpet haemocyanin using glutaraldehyde. The conjugate was dialysed to remove excess conjugating agent prior to immunisation.
Met- and Leu-enkephalins compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a role in a number of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress. PENK(114-133) and PENK(237-258) increase glutamate release in the striatum. PENK(114-133) decreases GABA concentration in the striatum.
