Abstract
Opioid peptides derive from three related precursor proteins, pro-opiomelanocortin, proenkephalin, and prodynorphin (1). These peptides function as chemical messengers to influence the activities of other neurons involved in diverse integrational tasks (2). In addition to modulating sensory information such as pain, these widely distributed, opioid peptide systems participate in the control of movement, in altering mood and motivational states, and in maintaining homeostasis and neuroendocrine function.
