Prodynorphin (PDYN)
Prodynorphin is a opioid polypeptide hormone involved with chemical signal transduction and cell communication. The gene for prodynorphin is expressed in the endometrium and the striatum, and its gene map locus is 20pter-p12. Prodynorphin is a basic building block of endorphins, the chemical messengers in the brain that appear most heavily involved in the anticipation and experience of pain and the formation of deep emotional bonds, and which are also critical in learning and memory. The prodynorphin enzyme is identical in humans and chimps, but the regulatory promoter sequences have been shown to exhibit marked differences.The gene is thought to influence perception, as well as susceptibility to drug dependence, and is expressed more readily in human beings than in other primates.
