Lipotropin Peptides
Overview
β-Lipotropin is a 90-amino acid polypeptide representing the carboxyl-terminal fragment of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC). It serves as a prohormone that can be further processed into γ-lipotropin, β-MSH, and β-endorphin. Lipotropin peptides are key tools for studying POMC processing pathways and the neuroendocrine regulation of mood, behavior, and pain perception.
Key Features
- POMC-derived prohormone and processing intermediates
- Precursor to β-endorphin and β-MSH
- Involved in mood, behavior, and pain modulation
