Entry terms

  • beta-Endorphin (1-17)
  • Endorphin, gamma

Scope note

  • An endogenous opioid peptide derived from BETA-LIPOTROPIN of the pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) system. It is the 17-amino acid sequence of the N-terminal of BETA-ENDORPHIN and differs from ALPHA-ENDORPHIN by one amino acid (beta-endorphin 1-16).

History note

  • 95; was GAMMA-ENDORPHIN (NM) 1980-94
