DescriptionCorticotropin-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 organismSus scrofa (Pig)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Cetartiodactyla; Suina; Suidae;Sus.
Subcellular locationN/A
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 Stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin. It performs lipid-mobilizing functions such as lipolysis and steroidogenesis.
