Acid extracts of the brains of the American eel, Anguilla rostrata, and the coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, were screened for enkephalin-related products and dynorphin-related products. Following Sephadex G-50 column chromatography, a peak of Met-enkephalin-related immunoreactivity was detected near the total volume of the column for both species. No higher molecular weight forms of Met-enkephalin-related material were detected, nor were any immunoreactive forms with antigenic determinants similar to mammalian dynorphin A(1–17), dynorphin A(1–8), dynorphin B(1–13) or α-neo-endorphin detected for either species. The enkephalin-sized immunoreactivity was further analyzed by reverse phase HPLC. For both species, a peak of authentic Met-enkephalin was detected. However, Leu-enkephalin, Met-enkephalin-RGL and Met-enkephalin-RF were not detected by RIA in either species. In addition, no novel C-terminally extended forms of Met-enkephalin were detected in either species. Finally, opiate receptor binding activity was only found associated with the peak of immunoreactive Met-enkephalin.
