Gene(ID):
Expression:
P01189 COLI_HUMAN:

ACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland.

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.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

Stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol.

Anorexigenic peptide. Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes.

Increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes.

Endogenous orexigenic opiate.

Endogenous opiate.

PTMs:

Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides.

O-glycosylated; reducing sugar is probably N-acetylgalactosamine.

Subcellular Location:

Secreted.
Note: Melanocyte-stimulating hormone alpha and beta-endorphin are stored in separate granules in hypothalamic POMC neurons, suggesting that secretion may be under the control of different regulatory mechanisms.
