| Description | Corticotropin-lipotropin precursor (Pro-opiomelanocortin) (POMC)[Contains: Corticotropin (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) (ACTH);Melanotropin alpha (Alpha-MSH); Corticotropin-like intermediarypeptide (CLIP); Lipotropin beta (Beta-LPH); Lipotropin gamma (Gamma-LPH); Melanotropin beta (Beta-MSH); Beta-endorphin; Met-enkephalin](Fragment). |
| Source organism | Loxodonta africana (African elephant) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Afrotheria; Proboscidea; Elephantidae; Loxodonta. |
| 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 | 134 Amino acids |
