About This Product
Dermorphin Research Guide
A Mu-Opioid Receptor Selective Heptapeptide
Dermorphin is a 7 amino acid peptide (Tyr-D-Ala-Phe-Gly-Tyr-Pro-Ser) originally isolated from the skin secretions of South American tree frogs of the Phyllomedusa genus. It is notable for containing a D-amino acid (D-alanine at position 2), which is unusual for natural peptides and is part of what gives Dermorphin its distinct pharmacological profile: selective mu-opioid receptor agonism with substantially higher potency per milligram than morphine.
Dermorphin is used as a research tool specifically because it is one of the most mu-opioid receptor selective peptide agonists available, making it valuable for pharmacology research where receptor specificity matters.
Mechanism
- Mu-opioid receptor agonism: binds the mu receptor with high affinity and selectivity, with much less activity at the delta and kappa opioid receptors
- D-amino acid structural feature: the D-alanine at position 2 resists enzymatic degradation by aminopeptidases and contributes to the unusually long duration of action for a peptide
- High potency per mole: research models show Dermorphin to be substantially more potent per unit dose than traditional alkaloid mu-opioid agonists
- Pain pathway research: as a selective mu agonist, Dermorphin is a reference compound in analgesic pharmacology research
Research Applications
- Mu-opioid receptor pharmacology and selectivity studies
- Analgesic mechanism research where selective mu agonism is the study variable
- Comparative research against alkaloid opioid agonists to isolate peptide-specific effects
- Opioid receptor structure-activity relationship studies
- D-amino acid peptide stability research
Quality Standards
- Analytical status: currently undergoing independent third-party analysis (Janoshik Analytical); the Certificate of Analysis is published at /lab-results once verification completes
- Form: lyophilized powder in sterile vials
- Storage: refrigerated for near-term use, minus 20 degrees Celsius for long-term storage

Research Context for Dermorphin
Tissue Repair and Recovery Research Context
Healing and recovery peptides are studied across tendon, muscle, nerve, vascular, and gastrointestinal models. Research in this category focuses on angiogenesis, cell migration, growth factor signaling, and the kinetics of repair under controlled conditions. Reproducibility depends heavily on batch consistency and reliable analytical verification.
Dermorphin ships as a lyophilized research reagent through the LyzeLabs™ catalog in the Healing Recovery category, available as a single research-grade format. Verified LyzeLabs compounds publish their full HPLC chromatogram and mass spectrometry confirmation, matched to the lot number on the vial, on the LyzeLabs lab results page; this compound's analytical data is published there as it completes verification.
