Proenkephalin-A Antibodies

AND PENK ELISA kits, Proenkephalin-A Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect Proenkephalin-A, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with Proenkephalin-A in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop Proenkephalin-A antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to Proenkephalin-A by testing them on tissues known to express PENK positively and negatively. Browse below to find the PENK antibody that suites your experiment. We have 2 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Proenkephalin-A (PENK)

Met- and Leu-enkephalins compete with and mimic the effects of opiate drugs. They play a part in several of physiologic functions, including pain perception and responses to stress.

PENK(114-133) and PENK(237-258) increase glutamate release in the striatum. PENK(114-133) reduces GABA concentration in the striatum.
