Dermorphin is a naturally occurring opioid peptide made of seven amino acids, first found in the skin of a South American tree frog. It is best known in opioid-receptor research, and a rare D-alanine building block in its sequence is the unusual feature that sets it apart from peptides found in mammals.
It also has a solid research history, going back to the work that first described and sequenced it (Montecucchi et al., 1981). That early footing is part of why it still turns up as a reference peptide in this field.
