| Name | proopiomelanocortin |
| Description | This gene encodes a preproprotein that undergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. There are eight potential cleavage sites within the preproprotein and, depending on tissue type and the available convertases, processing may yield as many as ten biologically active peptides involved in diverse cellular functions. The encoded protein is synthesized mainly in corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary where four cleavage sites are used; adrenocorticotrophin, essential for normal steroidogenesis and the maintenance of normal adrenal weight, and lipotropin beta are the major end products. In other tissues, including the hypothalamus, placenta, and epithelium, all cleavage sites may be used, giving rise to peptides with roles in pain and energy homeostasis, melanocyte stimulation, and immune modulation. These include several distinct melanotropins, lipotropins, and endorphins that are contained within the adrenocorticotrophin and beta-lipotropin peptides. The antimicrobial melanotropin alpha peptide exhibits antibacterial and antifungal activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair pigmentation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016] |
| Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nProopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a multifunctional precursor molecule that, when cleaved into several active peptides, plays a central role in energy homeostasis and neuroendocrine regulation. In the brain, POMC‐derived melanocortins (such as α‐MSH and β‐MSH) and β‐endorphin mediate the actions of peripheral hormones like leptin by engaging intracellular signaling pathways (for example, via STAT3 and suppression by FoxO1) to regulate food intake, body weight, and insulin sensitivity. Distinct populations of POMC neurons within the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus and brainstem integrate long‐term adiposity signals and short‐term satiety cues, while genetic alterations in POMC or its processing can lead to severe obesity, abnormal fat distribution, or disordered feeding behavior. These central effects are further modulated by melanocortin‐4 receptor and serotonin‐2C receptor signaling, linking POMC activity to broader metabolic and homeostatic adaptations."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "11"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nOutside the central nervous system, POMC is differentially processed in a tissue‐specific manner to yield a spectrum of peptides that regulate endocrine, immune, and pigmentary functions. In the pituitary, POMC serves as the precursor for adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) that is essential for adrenal glucocorticoid production and feedback inhibition. In the skin and hair follicles, local processing of POMC generates melanocortins that influence melanogenesis, mediate anti‐inflammatory and antioxidative responses, and modulate cellular differentiation and even fibrotic pathways. Furthermore, POMC‐derived β‐endorphin and related opioids contribute to the regulation of nociception and immune cell activation, while aberrant post‐translational processing or oxidative modification of these peptides has been implicated in pigmentary disorders and inflammatory skin conditions. Recent studies also extend the impact of POMC alterations to certain neoplastic contexts and stress‐related conditions, underscoring its broad integrative role in peripheral as well as central physiology."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "12", "end_ref": "41"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Benjamin G Challis, Lynn E Pritchard, John W M Creemers, et al.
