Beta-Lipotropin (1-10), porcine is a porcine-derived fragment of β-lipotropin (1-10), which is a porcine[1].
morphine-like substances exist in brain or the pituitary of various species. beta-lipotropin (beta-lph) was found to contain within its c-terminal sequence the primary structure of these peptides.identity between the sequence of isolated fragments and thecarboxy terminal portion of the corresponding beta-lipotropins hasalso been observed in human and in porcine pituitary and hypothalamic-neurohypophysis extracts.1. bradbury, a.f., smyth, d.g. and snell, c.r.
