Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)
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. “pro-opiomelanocortin preproprotein [Homo sapiens] – Protein – NCBI”. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.
