Bioinformation

|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | Penk |
| Gene Full Name | preproenkephalin |
| Background | This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include the pentapeptide opioids Met-enkephalin and Leu-enkephalin, which are stored in synaptic vesicles, then released into the synapse where they bind to mu- and delta-opioid receptors to modulate the perception of pain. Other non-opioid cleavage products may function in distinct biological activities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015] |
| Function | Met- and 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. PENK(114-133) and PENK(238-259) increase glutamate release in the striatum. PENK(114-133) decreases GABA concentration in the striatum. [UniProt] |
| Research Area | Neuroscience antibody |
| Calculated MW | 31 kDa |
| PTM | The N-terminal domain contains 6 conserved cysteines thought to be involved in disulfide bonding and/or processing. |
