Abstract in brief

POMC is a precursor protein that produces various hormones and neuropeptides, with its processing varying across different tissues and impacting physiological functions.
Measuring and understanding the precise combinations and ratios of POMC-derived peptides are challenging but crucial, as they influence processes like hormone regulation, appetite control, and energy balance.
Future research should focus on clarifying how different tissue-specific processing pathways and peptide bioactivities contribute to health and disease, emphasizing the importance of accurate measurement techniques and functional analysis.
