Pro-Opiomelanocortin and Melanocortin Receptor 3 and 4 Mutations in Genetic Obesity
Genetic obesity results from loss-of-function mutations, including those affecting the leptin–melanocortin system, which regulates body weight. Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived neurohormones act as ligands for melanocortin receptors (MCRs), regulating the leptin–melanocortin pathway through prote...
