Distribution of POMC1A, POMC1B, and POMC2 in the hypothalamus and pituitary gland of Astatotilapia burtoni. In situ hybridization shows POMC1A and POMC1B staining in NLTv and rostral ATn, and POMC2 in ATn. All three POMCs were found in the RPD and PI of the pituitary. Brain is 20 μm transverse sections and pituitary is 20 μm sagittal sections. ATn, anterior tuberal nucleus; hc, horizontal commissure; NH, neurohypophysis; NLT, nucleus of the lateral tuberalis; NLTv, ventral part of NLT; PI, pars intermedia; PPD, proximal pars distalis; RPD, rostral pars distalis;. Scale bars = 100 μm
