Preproenkephalin A-Derived Opioid Peptides and mRNA of Preproenkephalin a in Human Pheochromocytomas

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 1987
Tissue contents of immunoreactive met-enkephalin (Met-Enk), leu-enkephalin (Leu-Enk) and met-enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu (Met-Enk-AGL) were determined by specific RIAs in 17 pheochromocytomas and the levels of preproenkephalin A mRNA were compared in some of these tissues by Northern blot hybridization.

Chronic Haloperidol Treatment Decreases Preproenkephalin mRNA in the Anterior Pituitary: A Study by Solution-Hybridization-RNase Protection Assay

open access: yesNeuroscience Letters, 1996
By solution-hybridization-RNase protection assay, the preproenkephalin (PPek) mRNA in the anterior pituitary (AL) of male rats was found to decrease by 42% after 3 weeks haloperidol treatment.

Critical role of preproenkephalin in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2006
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an organ-specific autoimmune disease model used to investigate mechanisms involved in the activation of self-reactive T cells. Preproenkephalin (PPNK) is the gene that encodes the protein proenkephalin A that has been detected in the brain, adrenal cells and cells of the immune system.

Isolation and Structural Organization of the Human Preproenkephalin B Gene

Nature, 1983
The primary structure of porcine preproenkephalin B has been elucidated by cloning and sequencing cDNA: it contains neoendorphin, dynorphin and leumorphin (containing rimorphin as its amino-terminus). These opioid peptides, each having a leucine-enkephalin structure, act on the kappa-receptor.

Dopaminergic modulation of pallidal preproenkephalin mRNA

Molecular Brain Research, 1999
The present study examines dopaminergic regulation of neuropeptide gene expression within a relatively poorly characterized population of cells, the preproenkephalin (PPE) mRNA containing neurons of the globus pallidus (GP). Rats that received 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) lesions or repeated D1 or D2 antagonist administration were compared to control ...

Effect of Lactation on Hypothalamic Preproenkephalin Gene Expression

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, 1995
AbstractEnkephalin appears to modulate several aspects of reproductive function in female rats. The purpose of this study was to determine if lactation influences preproenkephalin gene expression in one or more hypothalamic nuclei known to be involved in maternal or reproductive behavior and prolactin secretion. Lactating rats were killed on day 3 (LAC
