Usage

Description

Beta-Endorphin (1-27) is a peptide neurotransmitter and endogenous opioid neurotransmitter that acts as a natural painkiller and mood enhancer in the human body. It is derived from the larger proopiomelanocortin (POMC) precursor molecule and is released in response to stress, pain, and physical exertion. Beta-Endorphin (1-27) binds to the opioid receptors in the brain, particularly the mu-opioid receptor, to produce analgesic and euphoric effects. It also plays a role in regulating the body's response to stress and has been associated with the "runner's high" experienced during intense physical activity. Additionally, beta-Endorphin (1-27) has been found to have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, further contributing to its biological significance.

Uses

Used in Pharmaceutical Industry:
Beta-Endorphin (1-27) is used as a therapeutic agent for its analgesic and mood-enhancing properties, providing natural pain relief and stress reduction without the side effects associated with synthetic opioids.
Used in Neurological Research:
Beta-Endorphin (1-27) is used as a research tool to study the mechanisms of pain perception, stress response, and mood regulation in the brain, contributing to the development of new treatments for neurological disorders and mental health conditions.
Used in Sports and Fitness Industry:
Beta-Endorphin (1-27) is used as a performance enhancer to improve athletes' endurance and reduce pain during intense physical activity, potentially contributing to the "runner's high" phenomenon.
Used in Immunology Research:
Beta-Endorphin (1-27) is used as a research subject to explore its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, which could lead to the development of new therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.
