PENK Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-PENK Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

PENK (proenkephalin) 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.
