Influence of POMC-derived peptides on the adrenal gland
Einleitung: Die normale Funktion der Nebenniere ist abhängig von der Anwesenheit von Proopiomelanokortin (POMC) und dessen Derivaten. Während die Funktion von ACTH schon lange bekannt ist, gibt es deutliche Hinweise darauf, dass auch noch andere Peptide ...

ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,

Development of a Brain‐Penetrant Nurr1 Agonist Tool
Nuclear receptor‐related 1 (Nurr1) is a ligand‐activated transcription factor with neuroprotective properties, thought to hold therapeutic potential in neurodegeneration. Here, we developed a potent, brain‐penetrant Nurr1 agonist to study the effects of pharmacological Nurr1 activation in the CNS in vivo. The ligand‐sensing transcription factor nuclear

Objectives: The autonomic nervous system is critically involved in mediating the control by leptin of many physiological processes. Here, we examined the role of the leptin receptor (LepR) in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP ...

ASIP Variants in Livestock: It's Not Black and White
ABSTRACT Fur and feather pigmentation play an important role in the survival and reproduction of many species, as well as in selective breeding and agriculture. The synthesis of pigment molecules, eumelanin and pheomelanin, is partially regulated by the agouti signalling protein (ASIP) encoded by the ASIP gene.

[[abstract]]Background: Human Uncoupling Protein 3 (UCP3) is a new candidate gene for human obesity. UCPJ has been shown to be regulated by thyroid hormone, 3-adrenergic agonists, leptin, and fat feeding in rodents. Mutations in exon 3 (V1O2I) and exon 4

POMC gene expression in mouse and hamster melanoma cells
Expression of mRNA hybridizable to murine POMC cDNA, and immunoreactivity specific for POMC derived peptide, β-endorphin, are reported for the first time in one murine and two hamster melanoma lines. The apparent sizes of POMC mRNA transcript were 3.5, 1.
