19. disruption of this hippocampal POMC/MC4R circuit might contribute to synaptic dysfunction observed in Alzheimer's disease.

20. The data show that somatic MORs in POMC neurons couple to multiple effectors that have differential sensitivity to desensitization of the receptor.

Human Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) interaction partners

1. The findings presented in this study show that the SNP found in the 3' UTR could alter the binding of miRNAs to POMC 3'UTR, thus, increasing POMC expression and affecting several biological systems with high relevance to the biology of self-injury.

2. Attenuated alpha-MSH level in synovial fluid may serve as a potential biomarker for disease severity of knee osteoarthritis (OA), and further studies are needed to identify its potential application for monitoring the course of the disease and the efficacy of therapies in OA patients.

3. found that POMC promoter methylation is significantly higher in smokers than in non-smokers.

4. These findings show that POMC methylation status in the blood of children is associated with metabolic profiles. Therefore, we suggest that the DNA methylation status might serve as a potential epigenetic biomarkers of metabolic syndrome.

5. Herein, we summarise evidence supporting the potential candidacy in this light of alpha-melanocyte stimulatory hormone, an endogenous peptide hormone and a breakdown product of the neuropeptide pro-opiomelanocortin

6. Data suggest that the stress of intermittent hypoxia up-regulates expression of mRNA and protein for POMC and CART in neuronal cell lines; GATA2 and GATA3 appear to be involved in these stress mechanisms. (POMC = proopiomelanocortin; CART = cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript protein; GATA2 = endothelial transcription factor GATA-2; GATA3 = T-cell-specific transcription factor GATA-3)
