| Description | Gluten Exorphin A5 is a opioid peptide, the sequence of Gluten Exorphin A5 was found at 15 sites in the primary structure of the high molecular weight glutenin. Gluten exorphin A5 is highly specific for δ-receptors and displays opioid activity in the MVD assay. The N-terminal Gly increases its activity - thus the structure-activity relationships of gluten exorphins A are quite different from those of the endogenous opioid peptides. |
