What is Oermorphin?
Oermorphin is a synthetic peptide with opioid-like activity, derived from the C-terminal region of the protein Orexin-A (hypocretin-1). It is a small peptide that interacts with opioid receptors and has been studied for its effects on pain modulation and reward pathways.
Oermorphin has emerged as a promising molecular tool for investigating opioid receptor signaling, pain pathways, and neuropeptide function in research models.
Mechanism of Action
Opioid Receptor Binding
Binds to mu-opioid receptors (MOR) with high affinity
Pain Modulation
Influences nociceptive pathways through opioid receptor signaling
Neurotransmitter Regulation
Modulates neurotransmitter release in pain and reward circuits
Oermorphin is derived from the C-terminal region of Orexin-A (hypocretin-1) and exhibits opioid-like activity through mu-opioid receptor binding.
Pain Research
