Abstract : Proopiomelanocortin (POMC) is the precursor protein of different hormones and neuropeptides, and the POMC-derived peptides are produced through proteolytic cleavage. Prohormone convertase PC1 and PC2 are enzymes responsible for the cleavage of the POMC prohormone. The coexpression of POMC, PC1, and PC2 genes was previously described in the brain and the pituitary gland of Rana esculenta and Xenopus laevis, but no data are available for the gonad. The present work demonstrates a gonadal POMC convertase gene expression in Rana esculenta and Xenopus laevis.
