• Background: Dynorphin is a 17-amino acid opioid peptide found in the mammalian central nervous system, including hypothalamus, striatum, hippocampus, and spinal cord. It has a strong affinity for opiate receptors and it arises from the precursor protein prodynorphin, which is cleaved during processing by proprotein convertase 2 (PC2), releasing multiple active peptides like dynorphin A, dynorphin B, and α/β-neo- endorphin. Dynorphin A (1–8) is a truncated form of dynorphin A. It is an agonist at the mu-, kappa-, and delta-opioid receptors and it has the highest binding affinity for the kappa-opioid receptor. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Dynorphin A (1-8) coupled to a carrier protein.
