gluten exorphin b5

Gluten exorphin B5 (GE-B5) is a food-derived opioid peptide identified in digests of wheat gluten.

Dynorphin B (1-13) acetate acts as an agonist on opioid κ-receptor.

Gluten exorphin C is an opioid peptide derived from wheat gluten, with IC50 values of 40 μM for μ opioid and 13.5 μM for δ opioid activities in the GPI and MVD assays, respectively. Isolated from the pepsin-trypsin-chymotrypsin digest of wheat gluten, it is considered a δ-opioid receptor-selective ligand.

Dynorphin B (1-13), a 13 amino acid, is an extraordinarily potent opioid peptide.

Gluten Exorphin A5, a wheat gluten-derived peptide, exhibits neuroprotective properties and influences both the central and peripheral nervous systems [1].
