Background	Bovine adrenal medulla docosapeptide (BAM-22P) is a 22-amino acid peptide known to be a potent opioid agonist, derived from the proenkephalin A gene, which is present in the adrenal medulla. The increase in plasma BAM-22P levels may contribute substantially to the increase in total circulating opioid activity documented in cholestatic rats. BAM-22P is used to study the neurobiology of opioids and their receptors. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with BAM-22P coupled to a carrier protein.
Synonyms	preproenkephalin; proenkephalin
