alpha-Melanocyte stimulating hormone: production and degradation [PDF]

Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2010
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a polypeptide hormone precursor that is expressed in the brain and in peripheral tissues such as in the pituitary gland, immune system, and skin. In the brain, POMC is processed to form several peptides including alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH). alpha-MSH is expressed in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and in

Peptides and Food Intake

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2014
Nutrients created by the digestion of food are proposed to active G protein coupled receptors on the luminal side of enteroendocrine cells e.g. the L-cell. This stimulates the release of gut hormones.

Afamelanotide Is Associated with Dose-Dependent Protective Effect from Liver Damage Related to Erythropoietic Protoporphyria

Life, 2023
In animal models, melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs) protect the liver from various injuries. Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP), a metabolic disorder, leads to the accumulation of protoporphyrin (PPIX).

Melanocortin Regulation of Inflammation

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and α-, β-, and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-, β-, γ-MSH), collectively known as melanocortins, together with their receptors (melanocortin receptors), are components of an ancient modulatory system.

Selected hormonal and neurotransmitter mechanisms regulating feed intake in sheep

Animal, 2010
Appetite control is a major issue in normal growth and in suboptimal growth performance settings. A number of hormones, in particular leptin, activate or inhibit orexigenic or anorexigenic neurotransmitters within the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus,

The multiplicity of post-translational modifications in pro-opiomelanocortin-derived peptides

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
The precursor protein, pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) undergoes extensive post-translational processing in a tissue-specific manner to yield various biologically active peptides involved in diverse cellular functions.

Two Cases With an Early Presented Proopiomelanocortin Deficiency—A Long-Term Follow-Up and Systematic Literature Review

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) deficiency is an extremely rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe obesity, adrenal insufficiency, skin hypopigmentation, and red hair. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the POMC gene that codes

Plasma ACTH, α-MSH and cortisol variations in the dog during the oestrous cycle in different photoperiods

Veterinární Medicína, 2015
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) is a complex system regulated by multiple factors. Sexual dimorphism of this axis has been described in different species under physiological conditions and it has been proposed that sexual hormones could ...
