Preferred term

gamma-MSH  

Type

  • mesh:Descriptor

Definition

  • An 11-amino acid peptide derived from the N-terminal fragment of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). Gamma-MSH stimulates adrenal steroidogenesis and has an regulatory role in the cardiovascular and the renal systems. The 11-residue peptide that is without amidation. The 11-residue peptide that is fully amidated. The 11-residue peptide plus the 12-residue sequence leading to the next dibasic cleavage site at the N-terminal of the joining peptide.
