Summary: Enables neuropeptide hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including melanosome localization; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including adenohypophyseal placode; adrenal medulla cell; bone tissue; endocrine system; and hypothalamus. Used to study hyperandrogenism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including alcohol dependence; familial Mediterranean fever; nicotine dependence; obesity; and osteoarthritis. Orthologous to human POMC (proopiomelanocortin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
