Biological Activity
Mouse PEN (mPEN) and rat PEN (rPEN) only differ by one residue at the N-terminal end, whereas human PEN (hPEN) is more divergent and has the sequence PEG instead of PEN[2].
PEN binds and activates a GPCR in the brain[2].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
