Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the POMC family.
Tissue SpecificityACTH 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
