N-Terminal peptide of proopiomelanocortin
The N-terminal peptide/fragment of proopiomelanocortin, also known as pro-γ-MSH, is a naturally occurring, endogenous metabolite of the polypeptide proopiomelanocortin.
N-POMC is also a precursor for γ1-MSH, γ2-MSH, and γ3-MSH, and can form them through proteolytic cleavage.
N-POMC is an adrenal growth factor.
