Definition
English
:
A 90-amino acid peptide derived from post-translational processing of
pro-opiomelanocortin
(POMC) in the
PITUITARY GLAND
and the
HYPOTHALAMUS
. It is the C-terminal fragment of POMC with lipid-mobilizing activities, such as
LIPOLYSIS
and steroidogenesis. Depending on the species and the
tissue
sites, beta-LPH may be further processed to yield active
peptides
including
GAMMA-LIPOTROPIN
;
BETA-MSH
; and
ENDORPHINS.
