Description
Endomorphin belongs to Opioid. The peptide has the modification: 4 Phe amide. The endogenous peptides ligands for μ opioid receptor (MOR), endomorphin 1 (Tyr1-Pro2-Trp3-Phe4-NH2, EM1) and endomorphin2 (Tyr1-Pro2-Phe3-Phe4-NH2, EM2) were discovered in 1997 by Zadina et al.[1].
EMs exhibit the highest affinity to the MOR and extraordinarily high selectivity relative to the δ and κ opioid receptor systems of all known opioid substances.[2][3]

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
