60 YEARS OF POMC: The proopiomelanocortin gene: discovery, deletion and disease.

Journal of molecular endocrinology - 1 May 2016

Clark Adrian J L

Abstract excerpt

The cloning of the bovine proopiomelanocortin (POMC) cDNA in 1978 by Nakanishi and colleagues was the result of a remarkable series of exacting and ingenious experiments. With this work, they instantly confirmed the single precursor hypothesis for adrenocorticotrophic hormone-β-lipotropin, as it was then known, and in so doing revealed the existence of additional, largely unpredicted, N-terminal peptides that...
