Enkephalinases are enzymes that degrade endogenous enkephalin opioid peptides. They include:
- Aminopeptidase N (APN)[1]
- Neutral endopeptidase (NEP)[1]
- Dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3)[1]
- Carboxypeptidase A6 (CPA6)[2]
- Leucyl/cystinyl aminopeptidase (LNPEP)
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)[3]
