Summary: Enables opioid peptide activity and opioid receptor binding activity. Involved in G protein-coupled opioid receptor signaling pathway; regulation of long-term synaptic depression; and transmission of nerve impulse. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; sensory perception of pain; and startle response. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell body fiber; perikaryon; and symmetric synapse. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including axon terminus; cytoplasmic vesicle lumen; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in overactive bladder syndrome. Orthologous to human PENK (proenkephalin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
