Studied effects

Mechanism
Binds OGF receptors (zeta opioid receptors) on cell nuclei, regulating DNA synthesis and cell proliferation in a tonic inhibitory manner. Also binds delta opioid receptors. Intermittent blockade by low-dose naltrexone upregulates receptor expression and endogenous MENK tone.
