Description

β-Endorphin CAS NO 60617-12-1 is a potent endogenous opioid neuropeptide and peptide hormone. This compound is of critical importance in neuroscience and pharmaceutical research due to its role in modulating pain perception, stress response, and reward mechanisms. It is primarily needed by research institutions, pharmaceutical developers, and diagnostic manufacturers for applications in neurobiological studies, analgesic drug discovery, and biomarker research.

Application

• Neuroscience Research: Fundamental studies on pain pathways, stress response, and addiction mechanisms.
• Pharmaceutical Development: As a reference standard or active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the research of novel analgesic and neuropsychiatric drugs.
• Biochemical Assays: Used as a critical component in receptor binding studies, immunoassays (ELISA, RIA), and cell-based signaling experiments.
• Diagnostic Manufacturing: Serves as a calibrator or antigen in the production of diagnostic kits for measuring endorphin levels.
• Academic & Clinical Studies: Investigating its role in exercise physiology, mental health disorders, and chronic pain conditions.

Quality Control

Our β-Endorphin is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and development purposes. Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and other critical parameters. We adhere to relevant industry standards for peptide synthesis and purification.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere and allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
