Dynorphin A (Human, 1-13)

Ref. 3D-PDY-4080

Product Information

• Name: Dynorphin A (Human, 1-13)
• Synonyms: Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ile-Arg-Pro-Lys-Leu-Lys • 5AcOH • 6H2O
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: As a dynorphin peptide, Dynorphin A has affinity for opioid receptors in particular it favors kappa-opioid receptors and residues 1-13 of the Dynorphin A peptide are crucial for its potency. Kappa-opioid receptors are expressed in the brain, peripheral tissues and the spinal cord and are located in areas involved in pain. For example when Dynorphin A binds to kappa-opioid receptors, dopamine is inhibited in areas of the brain prevalent in drug addiction, thus demonstrated Dynorphin A to have antagonistic effects on the brain reward circuit. Dynorphin A could be a useful research tool for studying analgesia, reward and addiction.
