Difference between Proenkephalin and Proopiomelanocortin

Proenkephalin vs. Proopiomelanocortin

Proenkephalin (PENK), formerly known as proenkephalin A (since proenkephalin B was renamed prodynorphin), is an endogenous opioid polypeptide hormone which, via proteolyic cleavage, produces the enkephalin peptides Metenkephalin, and to a lesser extent, Leuenkephalin. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues.
