Authentic cell-specific and developmentally regulated expression of pro- opiomelanocortin genomic fragments in hypothalamic and hindbrain neurons of transgenic mice
The pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) gene is expressed in a subset of hypothalamic and hindbrain neurons and in pituitary melanotrophs and corticotrophs. POMC neurons release the potent opioid β-endorphin and several active melanocortins that control homeostasis and feeding behavior. POMC gene expression...
