β-Endorphin (also known as beta-endorphin) is an endogenous opioid neuropeptide.
Chemistry
β-Endorphin is a peptide of such amino acid 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.[1]
Pharmacology
β-Endorphin binds to μ-opioid and δ-opioid receptors with high affinity and to κ-opioid receptors at a lower affinity.[2]
