Gene information for PDYN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5173
Official gene symbolPDYN
Full nameprodynorphin
Aliases,MGC26418,PENKB,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to form the secreted opioid peptides beta-neoendorphin, dynorphin, leu-enkephalin, rimorphin, and leumorphin. These peptides are ligands for the kappa-type of opioid receptor. Dynorphin is involved in modulating responses to several psychoactive substances, including cocaine. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
