MEK(Methionine-Enkephalin) ELISA Kit

Detection Range: 125-8000 pg/mL. Test Principle: Colorimetric method,ELISA,Competitive. Sensitivity: 75 pg/mL. Protein function: Neuropeptide that competes 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 Neuropeptide that competes 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 Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe neuropeptide acts as a strong ligand of Mu-type opioid receptor OPRM1. Met-enkephalin-Arg-Phe-binding to OPRM1 in the nucleus accumbens of the brain increases activation of OPRM1, leading to long-term synaptic depression of glutamate release Increases glutamate release in the striatum and decreases GABA concentration in the striatum Increases glutamate release in the striatum [The UniProt Consortium]
