Abstract：
:A biotinylated oligonucleotide probe was used to demonstrate the presence in the heart of the portion of the proopiomelanocortin messenger RNA which contains the sequence for beta-endorphin. The probe indicated the presence of beta-endorphin messenger RNA in cardiac tissue and specifically in the cardiac muscle cell. The probe also confirmed the well-documented presence of messenger RNA for beta-endorphin in the anterior and neurointermediate lobes of the pituitary. These findings indicate that in addition to the pituitary, beta-endorphin is produced in situ in the heart.
