proopiomelanocortin

To identify processes that might be susceptible to gestational influences in mice, we characterized the ontogeny of proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) cell populations, which exert opposing influences on food intake and body weight.

The zinc-stimulated HEL acyltransferase did not octanoylate proenkephalin, proopiomelanocortin, His-tagged proghrelin, or proghrelin lacking the amino-terminal His-tag stub of Gly-Ala-Met.

Figure 7A demonstrates that two other peptide hormone precursors, POMC (proopiomelanocortin) and proenkephalin were not acylated - even though POMC is a known precursor of an acylated peptide, α-MSH.
