| 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]. |
| Source organism | Rattus norvegicus (Rat) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus. |
| 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 | 235 Amino acids |
| Molecular weight | 26540 |
