🧪 Dermorphin (Research Peptide)
Dermorphin is a naturally occurring peptide originally isolated from the skin of certain amphibians. It is classified as an opioid peptide, known for its exceptionally high potency and affinity for the µ-opioid receptor.
Key Research Notes:
🔬 Opioid Activity – Dermorphin is a heptapeptide that binds strongly to µ-opioid receptors, showing significantly higher potency than morphine in experimental models.
🧬 Biological Origin – Naturally found in amphibian secretions, though most research materials are synthetically produced.
⚡ Research Applications – Studied in pharmacology for receptor binding, analgesic properties, and peptide–receptor interactions.
⏱️ Potency – Demonstrated to be several times more potent than morphine in laboratory studies.
Form: Typically supplied as a lyophilized peptide powder for laboratory research.
Disclaimer:Dermorphin is intended strictly for laboratory and research use only. It is not approved for human consumption, medical treatment, or dietary supplementation. No therapeutic or performance claims are made.
