Receptorphin — frequently asked
What is receptorphin?
Receptorphin is a short peptide whose sequence derives from a conserved region of the opioid receptors rather than from a classical opioid precursor. It belongs to a small group sometimes described as receptor-derived or receptor-sequence peptides.
How well established is its activity?
Reports describe opioid-like behaviour in some binding and functional assays, but the literature is limited and the proposed mechanism has not been widely replicated. It is best treated as an exploratory pharmacological probe rather than a confirmed endogenous ligand.
What are the labeled versions used for?
FAM- and rhodamine-labeled analogues support fluorescence binding and imaging experiments, while the iodine-125 labeled form suits classical radioligand binding and autoradiography. Labeled forms are typically used in competition assays against established opioid ligands.
