ProDynorphin

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.

Post-translational modifications

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.
