• Background: Dynorphins are a class of opioid peptides. As their precursor Proenkephalin-B is cleaved during processing, its residues 207-223 (Dynorphin A) and 226-238 (Rimorphin, Dynorphin B) are released, among others. Dynorphin A (1-13) is conserved among various species. Dynorphins contain a high proportion of basic and hydrophobic residues. They are widely distributed in the central nervous system, with highest concentrations in the hypothalamus, medulla, pons, midbrain, and spinal cord, where they are also produced. Dynorphins are stored in large dense-core vesicles characteristic of opioid peptides storage. Dynorphins exert their effects primarily through the κ-opioid receptor (KOR), a G-protein- coupled receptor. They are part of the complex molecular changes in the brain leading to cocaine addiction. Dynorphins are important in maintaining homeostasis through appetite control, circadian rhythms and the regulation of body temperature. However, Dynorphin derivatives are generally considered to be of little clinical use because of their very short duration of action. This antibody was generated by immunization of guinea pigs with Dynorphin B coupled to a carrier protein.
