Abstract
The human placental villus tissue contains opioid receptors and peptides. The opioid peptides extracted from the villus tissue were fractionated using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography and a radio-receptor assay. The presence of dynorphin 1-8 was corroborated by mass spectrometric production of (M + H) ion in the fast atom bombardment mode. This octa-peptide could be the natural ligand of the kappa opioid receptors present in the human placental villus tissue.Entities:
