- Extra Details:
- Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor of the melanocortin peptides alpha, beta and gamma. POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus function as key central regulators of food intake and homeostatic control of energy balance in both rodents and non-human primates. MSH increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing the melanin production in melanocytes. MSH is produced in the pituitary gland and belongs to the POMC family.
