Difference between Opioid peptide and Proopiomelanocortin

Opioid peptide vs. Proopiomelanocortin

Opioid peptides are peptides that bind to opioid receptors in the brain; opiates and opioids mimic the effect of these peptides. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues.

Similarities between Opioid peptide and Proopiomelanocortin

Opioid peptide and Proopiomelanocortin have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Beta-Endorphin, Endorphins, Hunger (motivational state), Met-enkephalin, Peptide, Signal peptide.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Met-enkephalin

Met-enkephalin, also known as metenkefalin (INN), sometimes referred to as opioid growth factor (OGF), is a naturally occurring, endogenous opioid peptide that has opioid effects of a relatively short duration.

Peptide

Peptides (from Gr.: πεπτός, peptós "digested"; derived from πέσσειν, péssein "to digest") are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds.

Signal peptide

A signal peptide (sometimes referred to as signal sequence, targeting signal, localization signal, localization sequence, transit peptide, leader sequence or leader peptide) is a short peptide (usually 16-30 amino acids long) present at the N-terminus of the majority of newly synthesized proteins that are destined towards the secretory pathway.
