Entry term(s) lipotropina
lipotropina beta
Scope note: Péptido de 90 aminoácidos derivado del procesamiento postraducción de la pro-opiomelanocortina (POMC) en la HIPÓFISIS e HIPOTÁLAMO. Es el fragmento C-terminal de la POMC con actividades movilizadoras de lípidos como la LIPÓLISIS y la esteroidogénesis. Dependiendo de la especie y del tejido, la beta-LPH puede sufrir procesamiento ulterior dando lugar a péptidos activos como GAMMA-LIPOTROPINA, BETA-MSH y ENDORFINAS.

Scope note: 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.
