High-Yield Explanation
POMC- A gene on chromosome 2p23 that encodes proopiomelanocoin, the melanocoin family of hormones, which include alpha-, beta- and gamma-melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH) and adrenocoicotropic hormone (ACTH). The melanocoins bind to the melanocoin receptors, a group of five G protein-coupled receptors (MC1R to MC5R) which are involved in a wide range of physiological functions, including pigmentation, energy homeostasis, inflammation, immunomodulation, steroidogenesis and temperature control.Ref: Ganong&;s review of medical physiology; 24th edition
