Background:

Dynorphin A is a heptadecapeptide released from the cleavage of prodynorphin and found widely distributed in the central nervous system, where it is implicated in antinociceptive functions.^1,2,3It acts as an opioid receptor agonist with nanomolar binding affinity to the three major isotypes κ, µ, and δ (K_is = 0.5-1 nM) and has also been shown to activate human ORL1, a novel opioid receptor-like receptor (K_i= 386 nM).⁴
