Pró-opiomelanocortina
Also known as corticotropin-lipotropin precursor, POMC(1-241), proopiomelanocortin preproprotein, corticotropin-like intermediary peptide, POMC, opiomelanocortin prepropeptide, pro-opiomelanocortin
Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues. POMC is synthesized in corticotrophs of the anterior pituitary from the 267-amino-acid-long polypeptide precursor pre-pro-opiomelanocortin (pre-POMC), by the removal of a 26-amino-acid-long signal peptide sequence during translation. POMC is part of the central melanocortin system.

Pró-opiomelanocortin (POMC) é um precursor polipeptídico com 241 resíduos de aminoácidos. POMC é sintetizado a partir do precursor de 285 aminoácidos pré-pró-opiomelanocortin (pré-POMC), após a remoção dos 44 aminoácidos que compõe o peptídeo sinal, durante a tradução.
