Recombinant Human Proopiomelanocortin, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: POMC-349H
• Product Overview: Recombinant humanPOMC protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli andpurified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Cat. No.: POMC-349H
• Description: Pro-opiomelanocortinpreproprotein, also known as POMC, a polypeptide hormone precursor thatundergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing viacleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. Itregulates the corticosteroid production in the adrenal cortex. Also, POMC iscleaved into ten hormone chains named NPP, gamma-MSH, ACTH, alpha-MSH, CLIP,Lipotropin beta, Lipotropin gamma, Beta-MSH, Beta-endorphin andMet-enkephalin. Defects in the gene that encodes POMC are the cause of POMCdeficiency, which is characterized by red hair and adrenal insufficiency.
