The Ets Factor Etv1 Interacts with Tpit Protein for Pituitary Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) Gene Transcription*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2011
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is expressed in two lineages of the pituitary, the anterior lobe corticotrophs and the intermediate lobe melanotrophs. POMC expression in these two lineages is highly dependent on the cell-restricted transcription factor Tpit.

Comparison the Effect of Eight-Week of Resistance and Combined Training on Pro-Opiomelanocortin Gene Expression in Brain Tissue and Insulin Resistance of Obese Wistar Rats [PDF]

Journal of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences
Background and purpose: Studies have shown that exercise improves glucose uptake by acutely increasing insulin sensitivity. Additionally, acute exercise or adaptation to exercise training activates pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons, which affect ...

Human and murine PTX1/Ptx1 gene maps to the region for Treacher Collins Syndrome. [PDF]

, 1997
Ptx1 belongs to an expanding family of bicoid-related vertebrate homeobox genes. These genes, like their Drosophila homolog, seem to play a role in the development of anterior structures and, in particular, the brain and facies. We report the chromosomal

Hormonal regulation of the hypothalamic melanocortin system

Frontiers in Physiology, 2014
Regulation of energy homeostasis is fundamental for life. In animal species and humans, the Central Nervous System (CNS) plays a critical role in such regulation by integrating peripheral signals and modulating behavior and the activity of peripheral ...

Role of Leptin in Metabolic Adaptation During Cold Acclimation [PDF]

, 2013
Chronic cold exposure stimulates thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue, resulting in fat mobilization and compensatory hyperphagia. Mostly, these physiological events are accompanied by a remarkable reduction in serum leptin levels ...

The Melanocortin System in Control of Inflammation

The Scientific World Journal, 2010
Melanocortin peptides, the collective term for α-, β-, and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-, β-, γ-MSH) and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), are elements of an ancient modulatory system.
