摘要
Expression of mRNA hybridizable to murine POMC cDNA, and immunoreactivity specific for POMC derived peptide, beta-endorphin, are reported for the first time in one murine and two hamster melanoma lines. The apparent sizes of POMC mRNA transcript were 3.5, 1.5 and 1 kb. It is suggested that POMC gene expression may be involved in the autoregulation of the melanoma phenotype at the cellular and tissue levels.
