Fig. (1). Metabolism of dynorphin peptides.

Fig. (1).

The enzymes known to convert the dynorphin peptides have been curated from primary literatures and shown within the arrows. All Dyn molecules contain the Leucine-enkephalin sequence (Y-G-G-F-L), but diverge on remaining residues. CPB; carboxypeptidase B, Dyn; dynorphin, PC1; prohormone convertase 1; PC2; prohormone convertase 2.
