Genetics: Expression of pro-opiomelanocortin gene in human ovarian tissue
The high concentration of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)derived peptides in human follicular fluid, which is several times higher than in plasma, suggested a local expression of the POMC gene.

Background: Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of several neuropeptides, such as corticotropin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone and the endogenous opioid (β-endorphin).
