Pomc - proopiomelanocortin Gene

Also Known as Pomc1; Pomc2; alphaMSH

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 24664

Summary

Predicted to enable hormone activity and Melanocortin Receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cortisol secretion; positive regulation of cAMP-mediated signaling; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including calcium-mediated signaling; glucose homeostasis; and regulation of glycogen metabolic process. Located in extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial Mediterranean fever; obesity; and osteoarthritis. Orthologous to human POMC (proopiomelanocortin).
