Homo sapiens

Also known as MCH; ppMCH

Gene ID: 5367 | Gene type: protein coding

About PMCH

Cytogenetic location: 12q23.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:102,196,459-102,197,833 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 190 orthologues. Broad expression in bone marrow (RPKM 1.1), lymph node (RPKM 0.9) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. These products include melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH), neuropeptide-glutamic acid-isoleucine (NEI), and neuropeptide-glycine-glutamic acid (NGE). Melanin-concentrating hormone is a 19-amino acid neuropeptide that stimulates hunger and may additionally regulate energy homeostasis, reproductive function, and sleep. Pseudogenes of this gene have been identified on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
