α-Endorphin is the 1-16 fragment of β-Endorphin. α-Endorphin is a substrate for transglutaminase and both α-Endorphin and α-Endorphin's acetylated form are found in intermediate and anterior lobes of the pituitary. α-Endorphin appears to bind to neuronal opiate receptors, but does not bind to β-Endorphin receptors in lymphocytes, vasculature, or vas deferens. Stimulatory effects on immune system function have been reported.
