Enkephalins are one of the opioids present in human semen and to date their function in this tissue remains unknown. The present work studies enkephalin-degrading enzyme activities, puromycin-sensitive alanyl aminopeptidase (AAP-S), puromycin-insensitive alanyl aminopeptidase N (Ap N) and neprilysin (NEP) in human seminal fractions. AAP-S activity was not detected in any fractions, whereas Ap N appeared...
In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of the involvement of the endogenous opioid system in mental depression and its treatment. In this work, we have measured the effect of imipramine on enkephalin-degrading peptidases in several rat brain areas. Aminopeptidase activities have been assayed using Tyr-β-naphthylamide as substrate and puromycin as selective inhibitor. Dansyl–d-Ala–Gly–Phe(pNO...
