Description | Corticotropin-lipotropin precursor (Pro-opiomelanocortin) (POMC)[Contains: NPP; Melanotropin gamma (Gamma-MSH); Corticotropin(Adrenocorticotropic hormone) (ACTH); Melanotropin alpha (Alpha-MSH);Corticotropin-like intermediary peptide (CLIP); Lipotropin beta (Beta-LPH); Lipotropin gamma (Gamma-LPH); Melanotropin beta (Beta-MSH);Beta-endorphin; Met-enkephalin] (Fragment). |
Source organism | Ovis aries (Sheep) |
Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Cetartiodactyla; Ruminantia;Pecora; Bovidae; Caprinae; Ovis. |
Subcellular location | N/A |
Developmental Stage | N/A |
Similarity | Belongs to the POMC family. |
Tissue Specificity | ACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland |
Post translational modification | Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. |
Function | MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes |
Protein Length | 212 Amino acids |
Molecular weight | 23464 |
