Leu-Enkephalin is a peptide whose sequence is: Tyr - Gly - Gly - Phe - Leu. It produces pharmacological effects at both the mu and delta opioid receptors, showing selectivity for the delta receptor.

It has a much higher selectivity for δ opioid receptors than μ receptors, and has little to no effect on κ opioid receptors.
