Anti-Prodynorphin/Leumorphin (dynorphin

Application

Anti-Prodynorphin Antibody is an antibody against Leumorphin (dynorphin B29) for use in Western Blotting.

Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected leumorphin (dynorphin B29) in 10 µg of human brain tissue lysate.

General description

Proenkephalin-B (UniProt P06300; also known as Beta-neoendorphin-dynorphin, Preprodynorphin) is encoded by the Pdyn gene (Gene ID 29190) in rat species. Proenkephalin B is an opioid polypeptide hormone involved with chemical signal transduction and cell communication. Prodynorphin is a basic building-block of endorphins, the chemical messengers in the brain that appear most heavily involved in the anticipation and experience of pain and the formation of deep emotional bonds critical in learning and memory. Prodynorphin is produced with a signal peptide (a.a. 1-21) and a propeptide (a.a. 22-163) sequence. Following the removal of the signal and propeptide sequences, the protein is further processed by proeolytic cleavages to form Alpha-neoendorphin (a.a. 166-175), Beta-neoendorphin (a.a. 166-174), Big dynorphin (a.a. 202-233; Big Dyn), Dynorphin A(1-17) (a.a. 202-218; Dyn-A17; Dynorphin A); Dynorphin A(1-13) (a.a. 202-214), Dynorphin A(1-8) (a.a. 202-209), Leu-enkephalin (a.a. 202-206 & 221-225), Leumorphin (Dynorphin B-29; a.a. 221-248), and Rimorphin (a.a. 221-233; Dynorphin B; Dyn-B; Dynorphin B(1-13)).

Specificity

This polyclonal antiserum recognizes preproenkephalin-B (a.a. 1-248 of rat sequence), proenkephalin-B (a.a. 22-248 of rat sequence), and leumorphin/dynorphin B-29 (a.a. 221-248 of rat sequence), but not other peptides derived from Proenkephalin-B.
