What Does CLIP Stand For?
CLIP stands for Corticotropin Like Intermediate Lobe Peptide
CLIP, or Corticotropin Like Intermediate Lobe Peptide, is a neuropeptide derived from pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) that plays a role in the regulation of various physiological processes, including stress response and appetite control. Its structure is similar to that of corticotropin (ACTH), allowing it to exert effects on stress hormone pathways. CLIP is primarily synthesized in the intermediate lobe of the pituitary gland and has been studied for its potential implications in endocrine function and neurobiology.
