Description

Description: Methionine enkephalin (met enkephalin) is a pentapeptide that appears to enhance immune function at low doses and suppresse at high doses. This molecule acts in the central nervous, neuroendocrine, and immune systems. Cells from these systems have receptors for met enkephalin and are able to generate met enkephalin from its prohormone, proenkephalin A. Met enkephalin may be capable of enhancing immune function in cancer or AIDS patients.
