Difference between Corticotropic cell and Proopiomelanocortin

Corticotropic cell vs. Proopiomelanocortin

Corticotropes (or corticotrophs) are basophilic cells in the anterior pituitary that produce melanocyte-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and lipotropin. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues.

Similarities between Corticotropic cell and Proopiomelanocortin

Corticotropic cell and Proopiomelanocortin have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Adrenocorticotropic hormone, Anterior pituitary, Lipotropin, Melanocyte-stimulating hormone.

Adrenocorticotropic hormone

Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH, also adrenocorticotropin, corticotropin) is a polypeptide tropic hormone produced by and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

Anterior pituitary

A major organ of the endocrine system, the anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior), is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis).

Melanocyte-stimulating hormone

The melanocyte-stimulating hormones, known collectively as MSH, also known as melanotropins or intermedins, are a family of peptide hormones and neuropeptides consisting of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), β-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (β-MSH), and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (γ-MSH) that are produced by cells in the pars intermedia of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
