The rubiscolins are a group of opioid peptides that are formed during digestion of the ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) protein from spinach leaves. Two of them are known, acting as weak agonists of the delta opioid receptor selective for the G protein signaling pathway.

Types of rubiscolin
Several peptides are known to be produced after digestion of rubiscolin in various ways. For a key to the single-letter sequences, see . All peptides sequences are assumed to start with NH 2 - and end with -COOH, unless otherwise stated.
Rubiscolin-5
Sequence: YPLDL From: ?
Rubiscolin-6
Sequence: YPLDLF From: ? Delta opioid peptide. Can have an anxiolytic effect via activation of sigma1 and dopamine D1 receptors.
MRW
Sequence: MRW From: peptin digestion. Binds angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Reduces the blood pressure of hypertensive rats, 2 hours after ingestion.
MRWRD
Sequence: MRWRD From: peptin digestion. Binds angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Reduces the blood pressure of hypertensive rats, 4 hours after ingestion.
LRIPVA
Sequence: LRIPVA From: peptin digestion. Binds angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). No effects on blood pressure of hypertensive rats.
