Evolution of melanocortin systems in fish.

General and comparative endocrinology - 1 Aug 2006

Takahashi Akiyoshi, Kawauchi Hiroshi

Abstract excerpt

Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a common precursor of melanocortin (MC), the collective term for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and melanophore-stimulating hormone (MSH), and of beta-endorphin (beta-END). Over the past decade, considerable progress has been made in the analysis of the POMC gene from a board taxonomic group of vertebrates and invertebrates. The results suggest that three MSHs (alpha-, beta-, and...
