| Tissue Specificity | |
| Post Translational Modifications | The N-terminal domain contains 6 conserved cysteines thought to be involved in disulfide bonding and/or processing. |
| 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. 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. Leumorphin has a typical opioid activity and may have anti-apoptotic effect. |
