Target Information
Mouse Proenkephalin-A (Penk) is a precursor protein that gives rise to enkephalin peptides, which are endogenous opioids involved in pain modulation and reward pathways. These peptides bind to opioid receptors, influencing nociception and producing analgesic effects. Penk is expressed in various brain regions, including the amygdala and hypothalamus, and is involved in stress responses and addiction. In mouse models, Penk deficiency leads to altered pain sensitivity and stress-related behaviors.
