Multiple forms of immunoreactive dynorphin (I-Dy) in human pituitary and pheochromocytoma were examined utilizing gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Gel filtration of I-Dy from these tissues revealed the major component in the position of Dy(1-17) and other minor components with large molecular weight forms. HPLC profile of this major component from gel filtration showed a large peak corresponding to the position of Dy(1-17) and small peaks corresponding to the positions of Dy (1-13), (1-12) and other unknown peptides. These results strongly suggest the presence of Dy(1-17) as the major component, and Dy (1-13), (1-12) or other unknown peptides as the minor components in these human tissues.

D010673 Pheochromocytoma A usually benign, well-encapsulated, lobular, vascular tumor of chromaffin tissue of the ADRENAL MEDULLA or sympathetic paraganglia. The cardinal symptom, reflecting the increased secretion of EPINEPHRINE and NOREPINEPHRINE, is HYPERTENSION, which may be persistent or intermittent. During severe attacks, there may be HEADACHE; SWEATING, palpitation, apprehension, TREMOR; PALLOR or FLUSHING of the face, NAUSEA and VOMITING, pain in the CHEST and ABDOMEN, and paresthesias of the extremities. The incidence of malignancy is as low as 5% but the pathologic distinction between benign and malignant pheochromocytomas is not clear.

D004399 Dynorphins A class of opioid peptides including dynorphin A, dynorphin B, and smaller fragments of these peptides. Dynorphins prefer kappa-opioid receptors (RECEPTORS, OPIOID, KAPPA) and have been shown to play a role as central nervous system transmitters. Dynorphin,Dynorphin (1-17),Dynorphin A,Dynorphin A (1-17)
D004723 Endorphins One of the three major groups of endogenous opioid peptides. They are large peptides derived from the PRO-OPIOMELANOCORTIN precursor. The known members of this group are alpha-, beta-, and gamma-endorphin. The term endorphin is also sometimes used to refer to all opioid peptides, but the narrower sense is used here; OPIOID PEPTIDES is used for the broader group. Endorphin
