Two Distinctive POMC Promoters Modify Gene Expression in Cushing Disease
1 Jun 2021
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Mechanisms underlying pituitary corticotroph adenoma adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) production are poorly understood, yet circulating ACTH levels closely correlate with adenoma phenotype and clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We characterized the 5' ends of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene transcripts, which encode the precursor polypeptide for ACTH, in order to investigate additional regulatory mechanisms of POMC...
