| Organism | Mustela vison |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Carnivora; Caniformia; Mustelidae;Mustelinae; Neovison. |
| Subcellular Location | NA |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| 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 |
