Dynamics of proopiomelanocortin and prohormone convertase 2 gene expression in Xenopus melanotrope cells during long-term background adaptation

The toad Xenopus laevis is able to adapt its skin color to background light intensity. In this neuroendocrine reflex, the proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived peptide alpha-melanophore-stimulating hormone (alphaMSH) is a key regulatory factor. In animals adapting to a black background, release of alph...
