péptidos opiáceos
Scope note: Péptidos endógenos con actividad similar a los opiáceos. Las tres clases principales reconocidas en la actualidad son las ENCEFALINAS, DINORFINAS y ENDORFINAS. Cada una de estas familias procede de diferentes precursores, proencefalina, prodinorfina y PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTINA, respectivamente. Hay también al menos tres claes de RECEPTORES DE OPIOIDES, pero lno es sencilla la cartografía de las familias de péptidos con los receptores.

Scope note: The endogenous peptides with opiate-like activity. The three major classes currently recognized are the ENKEPHALINS, the DYNORPHINS, and the ENDORPHINS. Each of these families derives from different precursors, proenkephalin, prodynorphin, and PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN, respectively. There are also at least three classes of OPIOID RECEPTORS, but the peptide families do not map to the receptors in a simple way.
