Biochemical characterization of proopiomelanocortin variants in human and owls [PDF]

, 2015
In humans the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) gene is located on the short arm of the chromosome 2 at the 23.3 position and encodes a 39kDa peptide with 241 amino acids. This peptide is the precursor of the proopiomelanocortin prohormone and it is produced in

Alpha-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Maintains Retinal Homeostasis after Ischemia/Reperfusion

Biomolecules
Augmenting the natural melanocortin pathway in mouse eyes with uveitis or diabetes protects the retinas from degeneration. The retinal cells are protected from oxidative and apoptotic signals of death.

Glutathione Trisulphide Improves Skin Brightness with Anti-Melanogenesis Effects and Maintains Intracellular Persulphide Levels

Cosmetics
Melanin, the principal component of skin pigmentation, is produced through tyrosinase activity. Recently, supersulphides have been identified in human cells and found to play a role in maintaining cellular activities.
