title: Proenkephalin
text: Proenkephalin (PENK), formerly known as proenkephalin A, is an endogenous opioid polypeptide hormone which, via proteolyic cleavage, produces the enkephalin peptides [Met]enkephalin, and to a lesser extent, [Leu]enkephalin. Upon cleavage, each proenkephalin peptide results in the generation of four copies of [Met]enkephalin, two extended copies of [Met]enkephalin, and one copy of [Leu]enkephalin. Contrarily, [Leu]enkephalin] is predominantly synthesized from prodynorphin, which produces three co
