PMCH - pro-melanin concentrating hormone Gene
Also Known as MCH; ppMCH
Species: Homo sapiens
About PMCH
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]
