NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
neuropeptide hormone; plays a role in the responses to stress and pain perception [RGD, Feb 2006]
Uniprot Description
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(239-260) increase glutamate release in the striatum. PENK(114-133) decreases GABA concentration in the striatum. Ref.8
Subcellular location: Secreted.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in brain, heart and testis.
Post-translational modification: The N-terminal domain contains 6 conserved cysteines thought to be involved in disulfide bonding and/or processing.
Sequence similarities: Belongs to the opioid neuropeptide precursor family.
Mass spectrometry: Molecular mass is 2203.971 Da from positions 114 - 133. Determined by ESI. Ref.8Molecular mass is 4592.8 Da from positions 143 - 185. Determined by ESI. Ref.8Molecular mass is 2504.027 Da from positions 239 - 260. Determined by ESI. Ref.8

Product Notes
The Penk penk (Catalog #AAA659708) is a Peptide produced from Synthetic peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Enkephalin, Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
