Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor protein for many peptide hormones such as adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), melanocyte-stimulating hormones (MSH) and beta-endorphin (beta-END). The major tissue that synthesizes POMC-derived peptides is the pituitary gland, where POMC is proteolytically processed by prohormone convertases (PC) 1 and 2 and by carboxypeptidase E (CPE) to cleave POMC to biologically active ACTH and beta-END. Non-pituitary tissues such as immune cells can also produce beta;-END. Those cells migrate into inflamed tissue where they release opioid peptides and attenuate inflammatory pain by activating opioid receptors on peripheral terminals of sensory neurons.
