title: Rimorphin (dynorphin B) exists together with alpha-neo-endorphin and dynorphin (dynorphin A) in human hypothalamus.
abstract: Rimorphin (dynorphin B) has been demonstrated to exist together with alpha-neo-endorphin and dynorphin(1-17) (dynorphin A) in the human hypothalamus. The content of rimorphin was comparable to that of alpha-neo-endorphin and somewhat higher than that of dynorphin. This result is quite similar to the recent observations in bovine, porcine and rat neural tissues, suggesting that rimorphin is derived from preproenkephal in B together with alpha-neo-endorphin and dynorphin in man.
