The effect of streptozotocin-diabetes on β-endorphin level and proopiomelanocortin gene expression in the rat pituitary [PDF]

Neuroscience Letters, 1999
Streptozotocin-induced diabetes for 4 weeks resulted in a decrease in proopiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA in both the anterior lobe (AL) and the neuro- intermediate lobe (NIL) of the rat pituitary.

Posttranslational modifications of proopiomelanocortin in vertebrates and their biological significance [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2013
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of several peptide hormones generated in the pituitary gland. After biosynthesis, POMC undergoes several posttranslational modifications, including proteolytic cleavage, acetylation, amidation, phosphorylation,

Differential expression of POMC-processing genes in corticotroph tumors [PDF]

Endocrine Oncology
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 ...

Unraveling the central proopiomelanocortin neural circuits [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Central proopiomelanocortin (POMC) neurons form a potent anorexigenic network, but our understanding of the integration of this hypothalamic circuit throughout the central nervous system (CNS) remains incomplete. POMC neurons extend projections along the

Disregulation of proopiomelanocortin and contagious maladaptive behavior [PDF]

Regulatory Peptides, 2002
Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is an untreatable and often life-threatening problem among individuals with developmental disorders, especially those diagnosed with autism. Functioning, relationships and processing of the proopiomelanocortin (POMC) system are "uncoupled" in subgroups of self-injuring individuals resulting in different ratios of ACTH and ...

The Cell Adhesion Activity of the Joining Peptide of Proopiomelanocortin [PDF]

Molecules, 2023
Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor protein of several peptide hormones, such as ACTH and β-endorphin. Almost all of the peptide hormones in POMC have been drastically investigated in terms of their biological activities.
