Mutations in the human proopiomelanocortin gene.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences - 1 Jun 2003

Krude Heiko, Biebermann Heike, Gruters Annette

Abstract excerpt

The melanocortin peptides and their receptors represent one of the most complex systems in human endocrinology. Hormonal regulation includes pigmentation, weight maintenance, adrenal function, and exocrine gland secretion via endocrine, paracrine, autocrine, and neurocrine action of melanocortin peptides at five different but homologous melanocortin receptors. Genetic relevance of the melanocortin system for...
