Rubiscolin
The rubiscolins are a group of opioid peptides that are formed during digestion of the ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) protein from spinach leaves.[1] These peptides have much in common with the better-known gluten exorphins.
Types of Rubiscolin
There are 2 known rubiscolins with known structure:
Rubiscolin-5
- Structure: H-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Asp-Leu-OH
Rubiscolin-6
- Function: can have an anxiolytic effect via activation of sigma1 and dopamine D1 receptors.[2]
- Structure: H-Tyr-Pro-Leu-Asp-Leu-Phe-OH
