Pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) is a precursor polypeptide with 241 amino acid residues. POMC is synthesized from the 285-amino-acid-long polypeptide precursor pre-pro-opiomelanocortin (pre-POMC), by the removal of a 44-amino-acid-long signal peptide sequence during translation.
POMC is cleaved to give rise to multiple peptide hormones. Each of these peptides is packaged in large dense-core vesicles that are released from the cells by exocytosis in response to appropriate stimulation:
You will always be the one that I adore,
Mean so much to me, but dreams you were before,
Its you Emily that makes me write this song,
Your eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you, seems so old to me,
Now I'm far away, a minute seems so long,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
You don't know how much I care,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
I longing to hold you, feel you in my arms,
Never let you go, far from me for long,
Girl I promise you, my feelings are so strong,
Eyes are open wide but still so much to see,
All that's new to you seems so old to me,
When I'm far away, a minute seems so long,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
If only you could read what's on my mind,
See right thorough my eyes,
You sooner realize,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day that I'm not there,
I'm gonna give my love, my heart, my soul to you,
All this I'll give to you I swear,
Its just another day without you,
Its just another day when I'm not there,
I'm gonna find a way to be so close to you,
