Novel opioid peptide amidorphin: characterization and distribution of amidorphin-like immunoreactivity in bovine, ovine, and porcine brain, pituitary, and adrenal medulla.

abstract：:We have shown previously that phosphate groups on the amino-terminal head domain region of the middle molecular mass subunit of neurofilament proteins (NF-M) are added by second messenger-dependent protein kinases. Here, we have identified Ser23 as a specific protein kinase A phosphorylation site on the native NF-M su...
