Recombinant Human PDYN (C-6His)

Recombinant Human Proenkephalin-B is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Asp21-Ala254 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Proenkephalin-B(PDYN), belongs to the opioid neuropeptide precursor family. The N-terminal domain contains 6 conserved cysteines thought to be involved in disulfide bonding and/or processing. Leu-enkephalins, which is a type of Proenkephalin-B, compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a role in a number of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress. Dynorphin peptides differentially regulate the kappa opioid receptor. Dynorphin A has a typical opiod activity, it is 700 times more potent than Leu-enkephalin. Protein Function: Leu-enkephalins compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a role in a number of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress (By similarity) , Dynorphin peptides differentially regulate the kappa opioid receptor. Dynorphin A(1-13) has a typical opioid activity, it is 700 times more potent than Leu-enkephalin (By similarity) , Leumorphin has a typical opioid activity and may have anti-apoptotic effect [The Uniprot Consortium]
