GPSM1 in POMC neurons impairs brown adipose tissue thermogenesis and provokes diet-induced obesity
Objective: G-protein-signaling modulator 1 (GPSM1) has been proved the potential role in brain tissues, however, whether GPSM1 in hypothalamic nuclei, especially in POMC neurons is essential for the proper regulation of whole-body energy balance remains ...

Differential expression of POMC-processing genes in corticotroph tumors
Objective: Corticotroph tumors (CTs) derive from the TBX19 lineage and are functioning (FCTs) or nonfunctioning (NFCTs). In FCTs, the main pathogenic variants are found in USP8, enhancing proopiomelanocortin (POMC) transcription through epidermal growth ...

POMC: An evolutionary perspective
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a complex precursor that comprises several peptidic hormones, including melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSHs), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and β-endorphin. POMC belongs to the opioid/orphanin gene family, whose precursors include either opioid (YGGF) or the orphanin/nociceptin core sequences (FGGF).

The small GTPase Rap1 in POMC neurons regulates leptin actions and glucose metabolism
The hypothalamic leptin-proopiomelanocortin (POMC) pathway is critical for regulating metabolism. POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus respond to leptin and play a pivotal role in mediating energy and glucose balance. However, during diet-induced obesity (

Zinc-alpha2-glycoprotein (AZGP1) has been implicated in peripheral metabolism; however, its role in regulating energy metabolism in the brain, particularly in POMC neurons, remains unknown. Here, we show that AZGP1 in POMC neurons plays a crucial role in

Pro-opiomelanocortin and ACTH–cortisol dissociation during pediatric cardiac surgery
In critically ill adults, high plasma cortisol in the face of low ACTH coincides with high pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) levels. Glucocorticoids further lower ACTH without affecting POMC.
