Genetics: Expression of pro-opiomelanocortin gene in human ovarian tissue

open access: yes, 1995
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.

Pro-opiomelanocortin gene delivery suppresses the growth of established Lewis lung carcinoma through a melanocortin-1 receptor-independent pathway

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of several neuropeptides, such as corticotropin, melanocyte-stimulating hormone and the endogenous opioid (β-endorphin).

Systemic pro-opiomelanocortin expression induces melanogenic differentiation and inhibits tumor angiogenesis in established mouse melanoma

open access: yes, 2011
Malignant melanoma is one of the leading causes of cancer mortality worldwide, underlining the need for effective novel therapies. In this study, the therapeutic efficacy and mechanism of systemic pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) therapy were evaluated in ...
