Understanding Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a 241 amino acid polypeptide that is synthesized in the pituitary from a 285 amino acid precursor called pre-proopiomelanocortin (pre-POMC) which has a 44 amino acid signal peptide removed during translation, resulting in POMC.

Pro-opiomelanocortin

Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues. POMC
is synthesized in the pituitary from the 285-amino-acid-long polypeptide precursor pre-proopiomelanocortin (pre-POMC), by the removal of a 44-amino-acid-long signal peptide sequence
during translation.
