Primary sequence of big dynorphin, dynorphin A and dynorphin B. Big dynorphin has intrinsic biological activity that differs from both dynorphin A and dynorphin B. Big dynorphin’s novel effects are not mediated by opioid receptors. The highly basic nature of the big dynorphin peptide may permit big dynorphin to interact selectively with other target molecules (46).
