| Popis: | The synthetic decapeptide Ser–Leu–Thr–Cys–Leu–Val–Lys–Gly–Phe–Tyr (termed immunorphin) corresponding to the sequence 364–373 of the CH3 domain of human immunoglobulin G heavy chain and its synthetic fragment VKGFY were found to compete with 125 I -labeled β-endorphin for high-affinity naloxone-insensitive binding sites on membranes isolated from the rat brain cortex (Ki=1.18±0.09 and 1.58±0.11 nM, respectively). The binding specificity study revealed that these binding sites were insensitive not only to naloxone but to [Met5]enkephalin and [Leu5]enkephalin as well. The Kd values characterizing the specific binding of 125 I -labeled immunorphin and its fragment Val–Lys–Gly–Phe–Tyr to these binding sites were determined to be 2.93±0.27 nM and 3.17±0.29 nM, respectively. |
