Description
Exhibits neuropeptide hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including melanosome localization; multicellular organismal response to stress; and regulation of hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. Predicted to localize to extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial Mediterranean fever; obesity; and osteoarthritis. Is expressed in several structures, including adenohypophyseal placode; adrenal medulla cell; diencephalon; endocrine cell; and male organism. Orthologous to human POMC (proopiomelanocortin).
