Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Metenkefalin is an agonist of µ and δ opioid receptors. It also causes immunostimulation at low doses and immunosuppression at higher doses. Metenkefalin can also inhibit the production of aldosterone, deoxycorticosterone, and corticosterone. Unfortunately, the mechanisms by which these effects occur have not been well described in the literature.
MeSH Pharmacological Classification
Substances used for their pharmacological actions on any aspect of neurotransmitter systems. Neurotransmitter agents include agonists, antagonists, degradation inhibitors, uptake inhibitors, depleters, precursors, and modulators of receptor function.
Applications
UsesEndogenous opioid peptide that also functions as a growth factor on many cell types at a receptor that is distinct from the neuronal opioid receptors
