Hemorphin-4 is an endogenous opioid peptide of the hemorphin family which possesses antinociceptive properties and is derived from the β-chain of hemoglobin in the bloodstream.[1][2] It is a tetrapeptide with the amino acid sequence Tyr-Pro-Trp-Thr. Hemorphin-4 has affinities for the μ-, δ-, and κ-opioid receptors that are in the same range as the structurally related β-casomorphins, although affinity to the κ-opioid receptor is markedly higher in comparison.[3] It acts as an agonist at these sites.[4] Hemorphin-4 also has inhibitory effects on angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE),[5] and as a result, may play a role in the regulation of blood pressure.[3] Notably, inhibition of ACE also reduces enkephalin catabolism.[6]
