Neuropeptides, 1984
Multiple forms of Dynorphin A (Dyn A) are present in cardiovascular nuclei in the hypothalamus, along with kappa-opiate receptors. To study the potential role of Dyn A in cardiovascular regulation, various Dyn A species [Dyn A-(1-8; 1-13; 1-17)] were microinjected into the preoptic nucleus (POM) of the anesthetized rat.

Brain Research, 1984
The distribution of immunoreactive (ir)-dynorphin A1-8 (Dyn A1-8) in 78 microdissected rat brain areas as well as in the neurointermediate lobe of pituitary gland was determined using a highly specific radioimmunoassay. The highest concentrations of Dyn A1-8 in brain were found in substantia nigra (673.8 fmol/mg protein) and lateral preoptic area (565 ...

Peptides deriving from the proenkephalin B precursor were studied in the Ungerstedt rotational model after their unilateral injection into the substantia nigra. Dynorphin (DYN)-(1-17), DYN-(1-13) and DYN-(1-8) in 0.1-10 micrograms doses induced marked contralateral rotation.

Dynorphin (DYN) is a potent endogenous opioid peptide which binds with high affinity to the κ-opioid receptor and has lower affinity for other opioid and non-opioid [N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA)] receptors. This pharmacological profile may explain the conflicting results obtained with DYN in experimental pain models. Most recent literature suggests that

Dynorphin Peptides: Antagonists of Melanocortin Receptors
Pharmaceutical Research, 1997To identify possible targets that mediate the non-opioid effects of dynorphin-A (DynA), effects that include inflammation and aggravation of traumatic nerve injury.We examined dynorphin peptides for functional interaction with the closely related melanocortin (MC) system.DynA-(1-13)NH2 and other related opioid dynorphin peptides antagonize the human ...

A monoclonal antibody specific for a dynorphin precursor
Neuropeptides, 1985Murine monoclonal antibodies were produced against dynorphin-32 (D32), a naturally occurring opioid peptide containing the sequence of dynorphin A (Dyn A) at its amino terminus, followed by Lys-Arg, then by the sequence of dynorphin B (Dyn B). Initial characterization using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that one clone (17.M) recognized ...

Dynorphins regulate the strength of social memory
Neuropharmacology, 2014Emotionally arousing events like encounter with an unfamiliar con-species produce strong and vivid memories, whereby the hippocampus and amygdala play a crucial role. It is less understood, however, which neurotransmitter systems regulate the strength of social memories, which have a strong emotional component.

In recent publications we have proposed that dynorphin (Dyn) A(1-17) functions as an antianalgesic modulator to oppose opioid-induced antinociception in mice. In the present experiments using the tail-flick response in mice, other Dyns [Dyn A(1-8), Dyn A(1-13), Dyn A(2-17), Dyn B and alpha- and beta-neoendorphin] when administered intrathecally (i.t ...

Dynorphin A immunoreactivity in human cerebrospinal fluid
Regulatory Peptides, 1987Dynorphin A immunoreactivity in human cerebrospinal fluid has been characterized. Large quantities of the fluid were fractionated by molecular sieving on a Sephadex G-50 column and analyzed by radioimmunoassay. Active fractions were further analyzed by means of HPLC and an enzyme radioimmunoassay procedure for identification of Leu-enkephalin-Arg6 ...

Evidence for dynorphin-A as a neurotransmitter in rat hippocampus
Life Sciences, 1983The molecular forms of Dynorphin A immunoreactivity (Dyn A-IR) detected in hippocampus were resolved by reverse-phase high pressure liquid chromatography (C18-HPLC). Peptide co-eluting with synthetic Dyn A(1-17) represents 20% of the total Dyn A-IR.
