About This Section

Entrez Gene summary for POMC:
This gene encodes a polypeptide hormone precursor that undergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational
processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. There are eight potential cleavage
sites within the polypeptide precursor and, depending on tissue type and the available convertases, processing may
yield as many as ten biologically active peptides involved in diverse cellular functions. The encoded protein is
synthesized mainly in corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary where four cleavage sites are used;
adrenocorticotrophin, essential for normal steroidogenesis and the maintenance of normal adrenal weight, and
lipotropin beta are the major end products. In other tissues, including the hypothalamus, placenta, and epithelium,
all cleavage sites may be used, giving rise to peptides with roles in pain and energy homeostasis, melanocyte
stimulation, and immune modulation. These include several distinct melanotropins, lipotropins, and endorphins that are
contained within the adrenocorticotrophin and beta-lipotropin peptides. Mutations in this gene have been associated
with early onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair pigmentation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants
encoding the same protein have been described. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: COLI_HUMAN, P01189
Function: ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol
Function: MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in
melanocytes
Function: Beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin are endogenous opiates

summary for POMC:
Melanocortin receptors are activated by members of the melanocortin family: alpha-, beta- and
gamma-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). Endogenous antagonists
include agouti and agouti-related protein (AgRP). The melanocortin receptors are G-protein-coupled and 5
subtypes exist, MC1-5. The melanocortins are involved in a wide range of physiological functions, including
pigmentation, energy homeostasis, inflammation, immunomodulation, steroidogenesis and temperature control.
