Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia;Hystricognathi; Caviidae; Cavia. |
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 |
