DescriptionCorticotropin-lipotropin precursor (Pro-opiomelanocortin) (POMC)[Contains: NPP; Melanotropin gamma (Gamma-MSH); Potential peptide;Corticotropin (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) (ACTH); Melanotropin alpha(Alpha-MSH); Corticotropin-like intermediary peptide (CLIP);Lipotropin beta (Beta-LPH); Lipotropin gamma (Gamma-LPH); Melanotropinbeta (Beta-MSH); Beta-endorphin; Met-enkephalin].
Source organismHomo sapiens (Human)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini;Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
Subcellular locationN/A
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the POMC family.
Tissue SpecificityACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland
Post translational modification Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. O-glycosylated; reducing sugar is probably N- acetylgalactosamine.
Function MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes
Protein Length267 Amino acids
