General annotation (Comments)

Function

ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol.

MSH (melanocyte-stimulating hormone) increases the pigmentation of skin by increasing melanin production in melanocytes.

Beta-endorphin and Met-enkephalin are endogenous opiates.

Subcellular location

Secreted.

Tissue specificity

ACTH and MSH are produced by the pituitary gland.

Post-translational modification

Specific enzymatic cleavages at paired basic residues yield the different active peptides.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the POMC family.
