Target Information
Proenkephalin A (PENK), formerly known as proenkephalin A, is encoded by the PENK gene in cattle. The enkephalins play a role in pain modulation, mood regulation, and stress response. Among the high molecular mass water-soluble proteins, proenkephalin-A and chromogranins constitute the major constituents of the chromaffin granules. Researchers study PENK as a biomarker for kidney function, particularly in predicting acute and chronic kidney disease.
