Hi there: Endorphin consists of a family of endogenous opioid peptides originally isolated from the pituitary gland. These peptides, known as α-, β- and γ-endorphin, have potent opiate and neuroendocrine activities.1-3 They are formed by cleavage from a common precursor protein β-lipotropin (1-91) [β-LPH (1-91)].4 β-LPH itself arises along with adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) from a large precursor, propiomelanocortin (POMC). i really dont know about enkephalin, if u know then tell me. thanks
