Description

Corticotropin-lipotropin B precursor (Pro-opiomelanocortin B) (POMC B)[Contains: NPP 2; Corticotropin (Adrenocorticotropic hormone) (ACTH);Melanotropin alpha 2 (Alpha-MSH 2); Corticotropin-like intermediarypeptide 2 (CLIP-2); Lipotropin beta (Beta-LPH); Lipotropin gamma(Gamma-LPH); Melanotropin beta 2 (Beta-MSH 2); Beta-endorphin 2; Met-enkephalin].

Source Organism

Oncorhynchus mykiss (Rainbow trout) (Salmo gairdneri).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Euteleostei;Protacanthopterygii; Salmoniformes; Salmonidae; Oncorhynchus.

Subcellular Localization

Developmental Stage

Expressed only in sexually active fish.

Similarity

Belongs to the POMC family.

Post translational Modification

Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides. Acetylation of beta-endorphin occurs in a tissue-specific manner.

Function

GeneID
