Inactivation of Enkephalins: Effect of Purified Peptidyl Dipeptidase and Cultured Human Endothelial Cells.

Abstract

Cultured human endothelial cells inactivate enkephalins primarily by the action of an aminopeptidase, as demonstrated by the release of TYR1. In addition a purified peptidyl dipeptidase cleaved enkephalins to tri- and dipeptide. (Author)
