An endogenous aminoenkephalinase inhibitor: purification and characterization of Arg0-Met5-enkephalin from bovine striatum.

abstract：:3,4-Dihydroxyphenylethylamine (dopamine) D2 receptor agonists, including BHT 920 and bromocriptine, and the potassium channel opener minoxidil share the property of hyperpolarizing the plasma membrane by activating voltage-dependent potassium channels. These drugs were tested for their ability to inhibit the cyclic AM...
