Proopiomelanocortin (POMC): the cutaneous roles of its melanocortin products and receptors.

Clinical and experimental dermatology - 1 May 2006

Millington G W M

Abstract excerpt

The precursor protein proopiomelanocortin (POMC) produces many biologically active peptides via a series of enzymatic steps in a tissue-specific manner, yielding the melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs), corticotrophin (ACTH) and beta-endorphin. The gene for alpha-MSH is encoded for by the POMC gene, but alpha-MSH cannot be produced from POMC gene transcription and translation without these specific...
