14-September-2008 18:02:47 - Lipotropin proopiomelanocortin adrenocorticotropin/ beta-lipotropin/ alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone/ beta-melanocyte stimulating hormone/ beta-endorphin Identifiers Symbol POMC Entrez 5443 HUGO 9201 OMIM 176830 RefSeq NM_000939 UniProt P01189 Other data Locus Chr. 2 p23 Lipotropin is a hormone produced by the cleavage of pro-opiomelanocortin POMC. The anterior pituitary gland produces the pro-hormone POMC, which undergoes cleavage to adrenocorticotropin ACTH and β-lipotropin β-LPH. Contents 1 Beta-lipotropin 2 Gamma-lipotropin 3 External links 4 References Beta-lipotropin β-lipotropin is a 90 amino acid polypeptide that is the carboxy-terminal fragment of POMC. It stimulates melanocytes to produce melanin, and can also be cleaved into smaller peptides. In humans, γ-lipotropin, α-MSH, β-MSH, γ-MSH, α-endorphin, β-endorphin, γ-endorphin, and met-enkephalin are all possible fragments of β-lipotropin.1 β-lipotropin also performs lipid-mobilizing functions such as lipolysis and steroidogenesis. Gamma-lipotropin γ-lipotropin is the amino-terminal peptide fragment of β-lipotropin. In humans, it has 56 amino acids.
