Abstract

The isolation of a 31-amino acid peptide from human pituitary glands has been described. Its amino acid sequence has been proposed to be identical to the sequence of the carboxyl-terminal 31 amino acids of human β-lipotropin. The peptide, designated as βh-endorphin, possesses significant opiate activity.
