The Tyr-MIF-1 family of peptides.
A review of research on the Tyr-MIF-1 family of peptides is presented with emphasis on Tyr-MIF-1 and its structure, passage through the blood-brain barrier, and both opiate antagonist and agonist properties. Family members MIF-1, Tyr-W-MIF-1 and Tyr-K-MIF-1 are also included.
