Posttranslational modifications of proopiomelanocortin in vertebrates and their biological significance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of several peptide hormones generated in the pituitary gland. After biosynthesis, POMC undergoes several posttranslational modifications, including proteolytic cleavage, acetylation, amidation, phosphorylation,

Genetic Diversity, Adaptation, Wild Introgression, and Coat Color Mutation of Golden Yak

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity, adaptation, wild introgression, and coat color mutation of golden yak from two populations on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau. ABSTRACT The golden yak lives on the Qinghai‐Xizang Plateau with a golden coat and adapts to high altitudes and strong ultraviolet environment. The golden coat is a prominent phenotype in many domesticated species,

Signal Transduction and Pathogenic Modifications at the Melanocortin-4 Receptor: A Structural Perspective

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) can be endogenously activated by binding of melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH), which mediates anorexigenic effects. In contrast, the agouti-related peptide (AgRP) acts as an endogenous inverse agonist and suppresses

Expanding the genotypic spectrum of PCSK1 deficiency: A novel mutation in severe neonatal diarrhea

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Among congenital diarrhea and enteropathies (CODEs), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) deficiency is a rare monogenic disorder, associated with severe neonatal diarrhea and polyendocrinopathies. We report an 18‐day‐old male neonate, born to consanguineous parents, presenting with persistent watery diarrhea, metabolic ...

Bridging Psychological Stress and Skin Cellular Aging: Flavonoids as a Dual‐Action Therapeutic Strategy

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Psychological stress (or simply “stress”) is a major contributor to chronic disease worldwide, affecting 35% of the global population, including younger generations. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in human premature aging; hence, its detrimental effects on people's health compel us to comprehend and control the ways in which ...

α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone–Induced Eruptive Nevi [PDF]

Archives of Dermatology, 2009
Synthetic peptides that target proopiomelanocortin receptors are being investigated as a novel and safe way to tan. It has been postulated that synthetic alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) peptides may have protective effects against the development of melanoma because of their melanogenic activity.
